San Juan County requires licensed septage pumpers to post a fixed $1,000 performance bond as a condition of the county pumper license — ours is $100 flat, the price our carrier sets for this exact bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















License 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 license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the San Juan County pumper license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A pumper performance bond is a public-health and performance guarantee. San Juan County licenses companies that pump and haul septage from on-site septic systems, and it wants a financial backstop that you'll handle and dispose of waste according to the county health rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and San Juan County (the obligee). If you violate the county's septage-handling requirements or fail to perform the licensed work properly, the county can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the term of your pumper license. Let it lapse and the county can suspend the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $1,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
