The City of Toledo conditions sewer tapper registration on a $25,000 surety bond filed with the city. Ours is $750 flat — exactly 3% of the bond amount — and the application is five minutes with no credit check.
















Municipal utility-connection bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the whole process:
Business details, your contractor type, and an effective date. No financials and no credit check section on this bond.
Small municipal bonds like this issue right after purchase in most cases. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with Toledo’s sewer tapper registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A Toledo sewer tapper bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee to the city. It backs your promise to make sewer connections to the City of Toledo's specifications and to restore the street and public sewer properly after a tap.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Toledo (the obligee). If a tap damages the public sewer main or the street is not restored, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Tappers who connect to spec and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a registration formality, nothing more.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
