About this bond

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Trumbull County drain layer bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. The bond amount is $5,000, and 3% of that is $150, which is below the cost to issue and service a bond. So it lands at the $275 floor, the same for every drain layer.
Why is it $275 and not $150? +
Because $150 doesn't cover the cost of underwriting, issuing, and servicing a surety bond for a year. Every small bond hits the same $275 minimum — we'd rather tell you that plainly than dress it up.
Why is there an extra step on this bond? +
Trumbull County requires this bond on its own original bond form rather than a standard form. After purchase, once you have the County's form, we coordinate execution and shipping so the original is filed correctly.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount registration bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond renews on statutory dates (12/31). Buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your Trumbull County registration never lapses.
