About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A plumber and sewer builder bond is a code-compliance and restoration guarantee. When you connect to the City of Sidney sanitary sewer or perform plumbing work, the city wants a financial backstop that the work meets code and that any disturbed public infrastructure is restored.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sidney (the obligee). If a connection is made improperly or restoration is left undone, the city can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active while your license is in effect. We track the term and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your city builder license never lapses.
