About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

Union County Health Department — Plumbing RegistrationThe Union County Health Department requires plumbing contractors to register before working in the county and to provide proof of state licensure and a surety bond (new or continuation) with that registration. Registration is valid for the calendar year and expires December 31. The bond amount and form are set by the Health Department. (We do not cite a specific local code section we cannot verify.)

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 $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.

Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.

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 your Health Department registration. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your registration or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
