Overview
Montgomery County's Combined Health District requires plumbing contractors to carry this bond before they can pull permits or register to work in the county. It protects property owners and the public by holding licensed plumbers financially accountable for work that fails to meet applicable codes and standards. This is a local Montgomery County requirement — it has nothing to do with your Ohio state plumbing license or any statewide board. If you do plumbing work in Montgomery County, OH, you need this bond.
Who Needs This Bond?
Plumbing contractors performing permitted plumbing work within Montgomery County, Ohio are the applicants for this bond. That includes master plumbers, journeyman plumbers operating under their own registration, and plumbing contractors of any size who pull permits through the Montgomery County Combined Health District. If the Health District is your permitting authority for plumbing work in this county, this bond is your requirement to meet. Subcontractors who pull their own plumbing permits in Montgomery County need it too.
What is this Bond For?
This bond holds plumbing contractors accountable to the Montgomery County Combined Health District's standards. If a contractor's work causes financial harm — through code violations, incomplete work, or failure to correct deficiencies — the bond provides a mechanism for recovery. The Health District and affected parties can make a claim against the bond. It's not insurance for the contractor; it's a guarantee to the county that you'll stand behind your work.
When is it Required?
Registration or permit issuance through the Montgomery County Combined Health District is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Before the Health District will allow you to pull plumbing permits in the county, your bond must already be in force and on file. You can't start the clock on a permit application without it. Any contractor trying to do permitted plumbing work in Montgomery County without this bond is working out of compliance with local requirements.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies specifically to plumbing work permitted through Montgomery County, Ohio — not to work done in other Ohio counties or municipalities. The obligee is the Montgomery County Combined Health District, which administers plumbing permits and registrations for the county. If you work across county lines, each jurisdiction may have its own separate bonding requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Montgomery County Combined Health District Plumbing Bond satisfy my Ohio state plumbing license requirement?
No. These are two separate requirements. Your Ohio state plumbing license is issued through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board or the relevant state authority, and any bond tied to that license is a state-level obligation. The Montgomery County Combined Health District Plumbing Bond is a local county requirement specific to pulling permits and working within Montgomery County. You need both if you're licensed at the state level and permitted locally — one does not cover the other.
Do I need this bond in place before I bid on plumbing work in Montgomery County, or only before I start work?
You need this bond in place before the Montgomery County Combined Health District will issue you a permit — and that permit must precede any actual work. Practically speaking, if you're bidding jobs in Montgomery County and plan to pull permits, you should have your bond active before you ever submit a permit application. Don't wait until you win a bid to get bonded; the Health District won't issue the permit without it, and that can cost you time and the job.
If I expand my plumbing business into a neighboring county, does my Montgomery County bond cover that new jurisdiction?
No. This bond names the Montgomery County Combined Health District as the obligee and covers permitted plumbing work within Montgomery County only. If you begin working in a neighboring Ohio county — Greene County, Miami County, Clark County, or any other — that jurisdiction will have its own permitting authority and its own bonding requirements. You'll need to obtain a separate bond for each local jurisdiction where you pull permits. Bond Titan's catalog covers many of these counties so you can get bonded for each one without starting over from scratch.
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?
Yes. Bond Titan connects you directly to the online bond application — there's no paperwork to mail in and no agent appointment required to get started.
Is Bond Titan a licensed agency?
Bond Titan is powered by The Southern Agency, a licensed surety bond agency. We've built Bond Titan so you can find the exact bond you were told to buy and get to the purchase flow in seconds.
