The Preble County General Health District requires plumbing contractors to register and post a $10,000 bond before pulling plumbing permits in the county — ours is $300 flat, which is exactly 3% of $10,000. The application is five minutes.
















Registration bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, your master plumber name, and an effective date. No financials, no credit check section.
Registration bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond is mailed for your signature, ready to file with the Preble County General Health District plumbing registration.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A plumbing contractor bond is a code-compliance guarantee to the Preble County General Health District. Plumbing work protects the public water supply, so the Health District wants a financial backstop that your installations meet the Ohio plumbing code and county rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Preble County General Health District (the obligee). If your work violates the plumbing code or causes loss, the Health District can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active while you're registered. Ohio plumbing contractors must register with the county where they work — let the bond lapse and the Health District can pull your registration. We notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one. Enter the company as the applicant and your master plumber name where asked.
