What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oklahoma's Department of Environmental Quality certifies the installers who build and repair individual and small public on-site sewage treatment systems — septic tanks and their soil treatment fields. Certification is conditioned on a surety bond naming you as principal and DEQ as obligee, under the DEQ on-site sewage rules (OAC 252:641).
The bond backs your compliance with the certification regulations, giving the public a source of compensation if an installer's failure to follow the rules causes financial harm. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
The amount changed. DEQ raised the certified installer bond to $75,000 effective November 1, 2025. Our scraped application still reflects an earlier $10,000 figure, so we list this bond honestly rather than imply the old number is still correct — confirm your current requirement with DEQ and we issue exactly that.

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 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.
