Montgomery County plumbing bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Montgomery County, Ohio conditions plumbing registration on a $5,000 surety bond, filed through the Montgomery County Combined Health District rather than the county Building Regulations division. Ours is $275 flat — the minimum — because 3% of $5,000 is $150 and we never go below $275.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Montgomery County regulates plumbing through its Combined Health District, not the county Building Regulations division. A registered plumbing contractor posts a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of registration — it's a code-compliance guarantee that your plumbing work meets county and Ohio plumbing rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and Montgomery County (the obligee), with the public protected. If a contractor violates the plumbing rules or orders of the health authority and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Plumbers who pull permits and pass inspections treat the bond as a registration formality, and we keep your $5,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
