What it is and who needs it.
What the septic & night soil bond covers
Metro Nashville/Davidson County regulates the pumping, transport, and disposal of septic tank contents and night soil (human waste hauled from holding tanks and similar sources) to protect groundwater, the sewer system, and public health. A permitted hauler conditions that work on a fixed $10,000 surety bond filed with Metro.
It is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Metropolitan Government (the obligee). If a hauler dumps illegally or otherwise violates the permit conditions, Metro can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the permit. Let it lapse and the permit can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out. We issue the fixed $10,000 amount at $300 with no credit check.
