What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A sewer tapper bond is a public-works compliance guarantee. When you cut into the City of Sylvania's sewer main to make a tap or connection, the City wants assurance the work meets its specifications and that any disturbed street, curb, or public property is restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sylvania (the obligee). If a tap is done improperly or public property is left damaged, the City can recover the cost of repair against the $10,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Tappers who follow the City's specs and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
