Overview
Plumbers and sewer contractors working in Bowling Green, Ohio need this bond before they can pull a local permit and get to work. It is a compliance bond required by the City of Bowling Green — not a state license — and it holds you financially accountable for meeting local plumbing and sewer codes on every job you run in the city. If your work causes damage or a code violation goes unresolved, the bond gives the city a mechanism to recover costs. Get bonded, get permitted, and keep your schedule moving.
Who Needs This Bond?
Licensed plumbers, sewer contractors, and plumbing subcontractors doing permitted work inside Bowling Green city limits need this bond. That includes contractors running new water service lines, installing or replacing sewer laterals, roughing in plumbing for residential builds, or handling any sewer connection work tied to a City of Bowling Green permit. If you are a sub working under a general contractor but pulling your own plumbing permit in Bowling Green, this bond requirement falls on you.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that plumbing and sewer work performed inside Bowling Green meets city code and that the contractor stands behind the work. The City of Bowling Green is the obligee — the entity protected by the bond. If a contractor fails to complete work properly, leaves a permitted project in violation, or causes damage to the city's sewer infrastructure, the bond provides a financial remedy. It is a legal requirement tied to doing plumbing or sewer work in this jurisdiction, not an optional form of insurance.
When is it Required?
Before the City of Bowling Green issues a plumbing or sewer permit, your bond must already be on file with the city. This comes up at the permitting stage — when you or your office submits the permit application for a new plumbing installation, a sewer tap, or a connection to the municipal system. You will not receive permit approval without the bond in place. Get it done ahead of the job so your pull date and start date are not pushed back waiting on paperwork.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively to plumbing and sewer work performed within the City of Bowling Green, Ohio. It satisfies the bonding requirement set by the City of Bowling Green's local permitting authority and has no effect outside city limits. Contractors working in other Wood County municipalities or in other Ohio cities will need separate bonds for those jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What triggers a claim on the Bowling Green Plumbing and Sewer Bond, and who files it?
A claim on this bond is typically triggered when a plumbing or sewer contractor fails to complete permitted work in compliance with Bowling Green's local codes, abandons a permitted project, or causes damage to city sewer infrastructure and does not make it right. The City of Bowling Green or an affected property owner can initiate a claim against the bond. The bond is not a guarantee of payment to the city — it is a guarantee of performance and code compliance. If a legitimate claim is paid out, the bonding company will seek reimbursement from you, the contractor.
Does this bond satisfy Ohio's state plumbing license requirement, or is it a separate requirement?
This bond is a City of Bowling Green local requirement only. It does not replace or satisfy any bond that Ohio's state licensing board may require for a statewide plumbing or contractor license. If you are required to carry a bond as part of your Ohio state license, that is a separate obligation. This bond specifically covers work permitted within Bowling Green city limits and is filed with the city, not with the state.
Does the Bowling Green Plumbing and Sewer Bond need to be in place before bidding on work, or only before starting?
The bond must be in place before the City of Bowling Green will issue your plumbing or sewer permit — and that permit step comes before you break ground. As a practical matter, you can bid work before the bond is in hand, but you cannot obtain the permit or legally start work without it. If you are bidding a project where the permit pull is your responsibility, get the bond secured as soon as you know you have the job so there is no gap between award and permit issuance.
