OH STS service provider bonds.
$125 flat.
Ohio requires a registered sewage treatment system service provider — who services, maintains, and operates STS — 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 provider. The application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Ohio registers sewage treatment system service providers under ORC Chapter 3718 and OAC 3701-29-03 — the people who service, maintain, and operate STS, including the operation-and-maintenance work that many systems require. The registration is conditioned on a statewide surety bond filed with the Department of Health.
The standard service provider bond is $25,000. A provider who also holds an STS installer registration may carry a reduced $15,000 service provider bond, because the installer bond already provides part of the financial security.
The bond provides financial security for enforcement of the registration law and protects against improper service work. Like the installer and hauler bonds, this bonding is statewide — local health districts may not require an additional service provider bond.
