About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A sewer tapper and builder bond is a workmanship and code-compliance guarantee. When you tap into a Union County sanitary sewer, the county wants a financial backstop that the connection is made to standard and that any disturbed public infrastructure is restored.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Union County (the obligee). If a tap is done improperly or damage to county sewer or right-of-way is left unrepaired, the county can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. Union County registration runs by calendar year and renews annually — we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your filing never lapses mid-season.

Union County, Ohio — Sanitary Sewer / County EngineerUnion County requires sewer tappers and builders to register with the county before connecting to the county sanitary sewer, and to file a surety bond with that registration. The Union County Engineer serves as the county Sanitary Engineer in responsible charge under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 6117; the bond amount and form are set by the county. (We do not cite a specific local code section we cannot verify.)

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Union County sewer tapper bond? +
The premium is $275 — our flat minimum. 3% of the $5,000 bond is $150, which falls below the $275 floor, so everyone pays $275 for a one-year term.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Small county registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
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 must stay active for as long as you hold the registration. Union County registration runs by calendar year; you can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term, and we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
