Marion County, OH Board of Health - HSTS Service Provider Bond
Overview
Marion County, Ohio requires anyone providing service to household sewage treatment systems (HSTS) to carry this bond before operating under a Board of Health registration. It guarantees that registered HSTS service providers will perform their work in compliance with county and state health regulations. If a provider fails to meet those obligations, the bond gives the Marion County Board of Health a financial remedy. This is a county-level requirement — not a state contractor license — so your bond must name the Marion County Board of Health as the obligee.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told you need this bond because you're applying for or renewing an HSTS service provider registration with the Marion County Board of Health. If you install, inspect, pump, repair, or otherwise service household sewage treatment systems in Marion County, this bond is part of your registration package. It applies to sole proprietors, LLCs, and companies operating in this space — anyone the Board classifies as an HSTS service provider. Without it, the Board will not issue or renew your registration.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the public and the Marion County Board of Health against losses caused by a registered HSTS service provider's failure to perform work correctly or comply with applicable health and sanitation requirements. It holds the service provider accountable for faulty installations, improper repairs, or regulatory violations related to household sewage systems. A homeowner or the county can pursue a claim if the provider's work causes harm or the provider abandons a job without completing it properly. The bond is the county's assurance that you stand behind your work.
When is it Required?
Before your Marion County HSTS service provider registration is issued, this bond must already be in place and on file with the Board of Health. You cannot begin lawful HSTS service work in Marion County without an active registration, and the Board will not grant that registration without the bond. If your registration lapses and you need to renew, the bond must be current at the time of renewal. Do not schedule jobs or sign service contracts before confirming your bond is active.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to Marion County, Ohio and is required by the Marion County Board of Health. It does not satisfy bonding requirements in any other Ohio county or municipality. If you operate in multiple Ohio counties, each county's Board of Health may have its own separate bond requirement.
