OH septage hauler bonds.
$125 flat.
Ohio requires a registered septage hauler — a business that pumps and hauls sewage from septic and treatment systems — to maintain a $25,000 statewide bond under ORC Chapter 3718. Ours is $125 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, the same for every hauler. The application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Ohio registers septage haulers under ORC Chapter 3718 and OAC 3701-29-03 — the businesses that pump septic tanks and haul the septage to approved disposal. The registration is conditioned on a $25,000 statewide surety bond filed with the Department of Health.
The bond provides financial security for enforcement of the registration law. It guarantees that you handle and dispose of septage in compliance with Ohio's rules — and if you violate those rules and the public is harmed, recovery can be made against the bond.
Ohio's bonding for septage haulers is statewide — the law prohibits a local health district from requiring an additional hauler bond, so a single bond covers you across the districts where you register. The bond must stay active for as long as you are registered.
