About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

City of Toledo — Division of Sewer & Drainage ServicesThe City of Toledo requires a $25,000 surety bond as a condition of sewer tapper registration to connect to the public sewer; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Toledo Department of Public Utilities. The bond runs to the City of Toledo as obligee and renews on the statutory December 31 date.

After you buy

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 $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the City of Toledo. 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.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $125 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
