The Perry County Health Department requires plumbing contractors to file a $20,000 bond to register and work in the county. Ours is $600 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every contractor. The application is five minutes, and registration bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















County registration bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
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 arrives by email, ready to file with the Perry County Health Department when you register. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A Perry County plumbing contractor bond is a guarantee to the County Health Department that you'll follow the county's plumbing code and the Department's rules while doing plumbing work. Ohio county health departments regulate plumbing in their jurisdictions, and the Department wants a financial backstop before it registers you.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Perry County Health Department (the obligee). If you do non-compliant plumbing work or violate the Department's rules, the Department — or a harmed party — can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Plumbers who pull clean permits and pass inspection treat the bond as a registration formality. We keep your $20,000 filing continuous and notify you 60 and 30 days before renewal.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
