About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Stark County drain layers bond is a workmanship and compliance guarantee to Stark County. A drain layer connects building drains and sewer laterals to the public system, and the county wants a backstop that the work meets code and the public right-of-way is restored.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Stark County (the obligee), with the county and the public as the protected parties. If a connection is done improperly, public property is damaged, or the work isn't restored to code, the county can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Drain layers who tap clean and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a registration formality.

Stark County — Sanitary Engineering / sewer connection registrationStark County requires registered drain layers to post a surety bond as a condition of connecting to the county public sewer system; the $5,000 amount and bond terms are set by the Stark County department (commonly the Sanitary Engineer / Sanitary Sewer District) that registers drain layers. We do not have a specific codified ordinance number to cite here, so confirm the current amount and form on your registration packet — and send it to us if it differs and we will match it exactly.
