About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Stark County registers the plumbers who pull permits and do plumbing work in the county, and conditions plumber registration on a $10,000 bond. The bond is a guarantee to the County that you'll perform plumbing work in compliance with the County's plumbing code and your permits — plumbing being directly tied to public health through the water supply.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and Stark County (the obligee), with the public protected. If a registered plumber's work violates the County code, damages public property, or abandons a permitted job, the County — or a harmed party, where the County's bond allows — can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Plumbers who pull permits and pass inspections treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

Stark County — registered plumberStark County requires a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of registering as a plumber authorized to pull permits and perform plumbing work in the county. The bond amount and terms are set by Stark County (administered through the County plumbing/building authority); the $10,000 penal sum is shown read-only on the application. We have not cited a numbered codified ordinance because the registration is administered by the County rather than published here as a numbered statute.
