To register as a contractor with the Medina County Sanitary Engineering Department, you file a $25,000 surety bond with your registration. Ours is $750 flat — 3% of the bond amount — with no credit check.
















County registration bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials, no credit-check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed-amount registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your registration or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A sanitary engineering contractor bond is a workmanship and code-compliance guarantee. When you connect to or work on Medina County Sanitary Engineer (MCSE) water and sewer utilities, the county wants a financial backstop that the work meets the MCSE Code of Regulations.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Medina County through its Sanitary Engineering Department (the obligee). All work involving water or sanitary sewer service connections must be permitted by MCSE before it starts; if work fails to meet county standards and is left uncorrected, the county can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. MCSE contractor registration renews on a regular cycle — we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your filing stays continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit-check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
