What it is and who needs it.
What the installer bond actually covers
Ohio regulates household sewage treatment systems (HSTS) through the Ohio Department of Health and the local health districts under Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3701-29. Before you can install, alter, or repair these systems, you register with each local health district where you work — and registration is conditioned on a surety bond.
The bond runs for the benefit of any aggrieved party harmed by a violation of Chapter 3701-29 — typically a homeowner left with a defective or non-compliant system. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the public the rule protects. If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety, so it is a guarantee, not insurance for you.
The amount is set at the district level. Many Ohio health districts require a $25,000 bond, and some require $40,000 for certain installer categories. Confirm the figure on your district's registration packet — enter it here and we quote your exact price — 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The application collects no credit information; if a check ever runs, it is a soft pull that will not affect your score.
