About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Alabama licenses portable restroom operators through the Onsite Wastewater Board (AOWB). Most operators post the $15,000 basic-license bond, but some license classifications carry the higher $30,000 amount — this page is that bond. Confirm which figure your license requires on your AOWB application.

The bond is a public-protection guarantee that you service, pump, and dispose of portable restroom waste in line with the Board's law and rules. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Alabama for the benefit of the public (the obligee).

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of the license, so we track it and notify you ahead of the Board's December 31 renewal deadline.

Code of Ala. § 34-21A-16 (AOWB)The Alabama Onsite Wastewater Board is established under Code of Ala. 1975, § 34-21A, and § 34-21A-16 conditions a licensee on a surety bond. By Board rule (AOWB Administrative Code Chapter 628-X-3), the bond amount varies by license classification — $15,000 for basic-level and $30,000 for advanced-level licensees. Renewed with the license by December 31 each year. Confirm the amount on your application.
