About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A sewer connection bond is a restoration and code guarantee to the city. When you tap the City of Youngstown's sewer, the city wants assurance that the connection is made to code and that any street or right-of-way you open to make it is properly restored.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Youngstown (the obligee). If the connection is defective or you leave the cut unrestored, the city can recover against the bond to fix it.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. At $1,000 this is a small, routine bond; we keep it active and notify you 60 and 30 days out so a connection permit never stalls over a lapsed bond.

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 $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

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 the City of Youngstown. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Youngstown sewer connection / tap permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

No credit check.
