Plumbing contractors who work in Union County, Ohio register with the Union County Health Department and file a $10,000 surety bond with that registration. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — with no credit check.
















County registration bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials, no credit-check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed-amount registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your registration or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A plumbing contractor registration bond is a code-compliance guarantee. Union County wants a financial backstop that your plumbing work meets the Ohio plumbing code and the county Health Department rules, and that you correct work that fails inspection.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Union County through its Health Department (the obligee). If you perform plumbing work that violates code and leave it uncorrected, the county can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. Health Department registration runs by calendar year and expires December 31 — we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so renewal is never a missed-email problem.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit-check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
