What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Snohomish County operates solid waste transfer and disposal facilities. Rather than require cash at the scale, the county lets approved haulers and businesses run a credit (billed) account — and requires a bond to guarantee they pay the disposal fees that accrue on that account.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Snohomish County (the obligee). If you fail to pay your billed disposal fees, the county can recover the unpaid amount against the bond.
The bond amount is whatever the county set for your credit limit. Pricing is set at 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
