Clallam County requires a fixed $4,000 bond to be certified as a septic (on-site sewage) pumper. Ours is $100 — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Certification bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Small fixed certification bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Clallam County Environmental Health pumper certification. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A certified septic pumper pumps and hauls on-site sewage (septic) waste in Clallam County. The county wants a financial backstop that you'll handle and dispose of waste properly and follow the county's on-site sewage rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Clallam County (the obligee). If a pumper violates the county's on-site sewage rules and the county or a customer is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Pumpers who follow the county rules treat the bond as a certification formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section in the application. Most applications approve instantly.
