Overview
Maumee's sewer infrastructure depends on licensed professionals who are accountable for the work they perform. This bond protects the City of Maumee and its residents against damage or improper work done by contractors tapping into the city's sewer system. Before you can pull a sewer tap permit in Maumee, OH, the city requires this bond to be on file. It's a local requirement — not an Ohio state license bond — tied directly to your permit activity within Maumee city limits.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you tap into or connect to the City of Maumee's sanitary or storm sewer lines as part of your work, you need this bond. Sewer contractors, excavation contractors, and utility contractors performing sewer tap work inside Maumee's jurisdiction are the primary applicants. This bond is required by the city — not the State of Ohio — so holding an Ohio contractor license alone does not satisfy Maumee's local bonding requirement. Any contractor who pulls a sewer tap permit in Maumee must have this bond in place.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that sewer tapping work performed within Maumee, OH meets the city's standards and that the contractor will repair any damage caused during the tap. If a contractor damages the sewer line, surrounding infrastructure, or public right-of-way and fails to make it right, the city has a financial remedy through the bond. It holds contractors accountable for the quality and safety of sewer connections made under a Maumee city permit. The bond is a condition of doing this type of work in Maumee — not optional.
When is it Required?
Every time you apply for a sewer tap permit in Maumee, your bond must be active and on file with the city. If your bond lapses between jobs, you'll need to reinstate or replace it before the city will issue your next permit. This is an ongoing local registration requirement — meaning it follows your permit activity in Maumee, not a one-time licensing cycle. Stay bonded as long as you're doing sewer tap work inside Maumee city limits.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the City of Maumee, Ohio. It satisfies the local bonding requirement administered by Maumee's permitting authority — it does not extend to Lucas County or any other Ohio municipality. If you perform sewer tap work in a neighboring city, that jurisdiction will have its own separate bonding requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
I do sewer tap work in multiple Ohio cities. Does this Maumee bond cover me in other jurisdictions too?
No. The City of Maumee Sewer Tapper's Bond is specific to work performed within Maumee's city limits. If you expand into Toledo, Perrysburg, or any other Ohio municipality, each jurisdiction will require its own separate bond tied to that city's permitting process. You'll need to obtain the correct local bond for every city where you pull sewer tap permits.
I already carry general liability and workers' comp insurance. Do I still need this bond?
Yes — and they serve different purposes. Your general liability policy protects against third-party bodily injury and property damage claims in the general sense. Your workers' comp covers your employees if they're injured on the job. This bond is a financial guarantee made to the City of Maumee specifically — it assures the city that you'll perform sewer tap work properly and remediate any damage to city infrastructure. Insurance and surety bonds are not interchangeable, and Maumee requires the bond as a separate condition of permitting.
If I hire subcontractors to perform the actual sewer tap work, are they covered under my bond?
No. Your Maumee Sewer Tapper's Bond covers you as the bonded contractor of record — it is not a blanket policy that extends to subs working under you. If a subcontractor performs sewer tap work in Maumee, that sub may need to carry their own bond depending on how the city's permit is structured. Verify with Maumee's permitting office whose name appears on the permit and bond requirement before putting subs on the job.
What happens after I click Buy This Bond Online?
You'll open the My Bond App portal in a new tab where you can complete the secure online bond application and finish your purchase. Your Bond Titan tab stays open so you can come back and keep browsing.
Can I buy this bond entirely online?

Is Bond Titan a licensed agency?
