What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Trumbull County registers drain layers — the contractors who lay drains and sewer laterals that tie into the public system — and conditions that registration on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your drain work following the County's rules and permit conditions.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Trumbull County (the obligee). If your registered drain-laying work violates the County's rules and the County or a property owner suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
This bond is issued on the County's own bond form rather than a standard form, so there is one extra coordination step to get the original executed and filed — we handle that with you. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety.
