About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Oklahoma's Department of Environmental Quality certifies soil profilers — the people who evaluate soil conditions to determine which on-site sewage treatment system a site can support. Certification is conditioned on a $25,000 surety bond under the DEQ's on-site sewage rules.

The bond names you personally as principal (not your company) and DEQ as obligee. It backs your compliance with the certification regulations, so that the public has a source of compensation if a soil profiler'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. Profilers who follow the DEQ rules treat the bond as a certification formality. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your certification never lapses.

OAC 252:641-22-3 (DEQ soil profiler certification)Oklahoma Administrative Code 252:641-22-3, in DEQ's Individual and Small Public On-Site Sewage Treatment Systems rules, requires a $25,000 surety bond as a new-certification requirement for soil profilers, with the applicant named as principal and DEQ as obligee. DEQ raised the certified installer bond to $75,000 effective November 1, 2025, but that increase applies to installers, not soil profilers — confirm your current amount with DEQ.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Oklahoma soil profiler bond? ▾

The premium is $125, set by our carrier for this specific bond — the price you see is the checkout price, the same for every profiler. The $25,000 is set by DEQ rule, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $25,000? ▾

No. You pay $125. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Who is named on the bond? ▾

You personally are the principal (not your business), and DEQ is the obligee. That is how the DEQ on-site sewage rules require it.

Is there a credit check? ▾

The application collects no credit information — there's no credit section to fill out. Most applications like this approve instantly; on the rare bond where a check runs, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.

Did the bond amount change in 2025? ▾

DEQ raised the certified installer bond to $75,000 effective November 1, 2025. That increase applies to installers, not soil profilers — the soil profiler bond remains $25,000 under OAC 252:641-22-3. If DEQ asks you for a different figure, send it to us and we'll issue that amount.
