What it is and who needs it.
What the pumper bond actually guarantees
Oregon requires a license to perform sewage disposal services under ORS 454.695, and the application must include a bond under ORS 454.705. The Environmental Quality Commission sets the amount by rule: $5,000 for a pumper-only license, and $15,000 for installer or pumper/installer licenses.
The bond is in favor of the State of Oregon and is conditioned that, in performing sewage disposal services, you comply with ORS 454.605 to 454.755 and the Environmental Quality Commission's rules. A pumper services and maintains onsite systems — emptying septic tanks and hauling the contents to an approved site.
If you violate the sewage disposal rules and harm someone, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond should be issued to your exact registered business name. We write the $5,000 pumper bond at $100 flat; no credit check.

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 $5,000 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 DEQ. Your executed bond arrives by email, issued to your exact registered business name, ready to file with your sewage disposal service license. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
