Richland sewer bonds.
$100 flat.
Richland County requires sanitary sewer contractors to post a $2,000 bond before connecting to or working on the county sewer system — ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A sanitary sewer contractor bond is a compliance guarantee to Richland County. It says that when you tap, install, or repair sanitary sewer lines tied to the county system, you'll follow county construction standards and restore any public infrastructure you disturb.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Richland County (the obligee). If your work damages the sewer system or public property, the county can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active while you're registered to work on the system. Let it lapse and the county can pull your authorization — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $2,000 filing continuous.
