Island County installer bonds.
$150 flat.
Island County requires a fixed $30,000 bond to be certified as a commercial on-site septic installer or maintenance provider. Ours is $150 — the price you see is the checkout price, identical for every installer. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A commercial installer or maintenance provider installs and services on-site septic systems in Island County. The county wants a financial backstop that you'll install and maintain systems to county standards and follow its on-site sewage rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Island County (the obligee). If a contractor's defective work harms a property owner or violates the county's rules, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Installers who build and service to spec treat the bond as a certification formality.
