What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

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 $1,000 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.
