Trumbull County requires a Class 1 septic / sewage installer to file a $20,000 bond with the County. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book, identical for every installer. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Installer bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Trumbull County Combined Health District for your Class 1 installer registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Trumbull County registers septic / sewage-treatment-system installers and classifies them by the work they do. A Class 1 installer — the broader scope — must file a $20,000 surety bond with the County as a condition of registration. The bond is a compliance guarantee that your installations follow the County's sewage rules and the Ohio sewage-treatment-system standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Trumbull County (the obligee). If your installation work violates the County's rules and the County or a property owner suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. Installers who follow the County's standards and pass inspection treat the bond as a registration formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond doesn't need it.
