To register as a sewer tapper and builder in Union County, Ohio, you file a $5,000 surety bond with your county registration. Our carrier's rate book sets the premium for this specific bond at $100 flat — the same for everyone, and the application collects no credit information.
















County registration bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials, no credit 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.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't collect credit information.
