Overview
Perrysburg, Ohio requires sewer tappers to carry a surety bond before connecting any residential or commercial line to the city's sewer system. This bond protects the City of Perrysburg and its residents if a licensed sewer tapper causes damage, fails to restore surfaces, or leaves work incomplete. It is a local city requirement — separate from any state-level contractor license — and applies specifically to work performed within Perrysburg's municipal limits. If you tap into a Perrysburg sewer line, this bond is part of doing the job legally.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told you need a sewer tapper's bond to work in Perrysburg — and that means you're a contractor or tradesperson who makes physical connections between a building's lateral and the City of Perrysburg's public sewer main. Sewer tappers, excavating contractors, and plumbing contractors performing sewer work within city limits are the typical applicants. If you pull a permit through the City of Perrysburg for sewer tap work, this bond is likely part of your registration requirements. No bond means no permit, and no permit means you're not working.
What is this Bond For?
Perrysburg's Sewer Tapper's Bond is a financial guarantee that a bonded contractor will perform sewer connection work according to city standards and repair any damage caused during the process. The obligee is the City of Perrysburg, and the city can make a claim against the bond if your work results in a loss — damaged infrastructure, improper connections, or failure to restore the right-of-way. This is not a performance bond for a specific project; it covers the contractor's ongoing authorization to do sewer tap work in Perrysburg. Think of it as your standing guarantee to the city that every job you do will meet the standard.
When is it Required?
Before you touch a city sewer line in Perrysburg, this bond must already be on file with the city. The bond is not something you pull together after the permit is issued — it's typically a prerequisite to getting your local contractor registration or permit authorization approved at all. If you're expanding your sewer work into Perrysburg for the first time, get the bond in place before you submit any permit applications. Showing up on a job site without it puts your registration, your permit, and your project timeline at risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively to sewer tapping work performed within the City of Perrysburg, Ohio. It does not satisfy bonding requirements in any other Ohio city, county, or township — including adjacent municipalities in Wood County. If you work in multiple jurisdictions, each city or local authority with its own sewer tapper bonding requirement will need its own bond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Perrysburg Sewer Tapper's Bond need to be in place before I bid on a job or only before I start work?
The bond needs to be in place before you can be registered or permitted to do sewer tap work in Perrysburg — which typically means it must exist before you're in a position to pull a permit on any specific job. If you're bidding work in Perrysburg and you don't already have the bond on file with the city, you could win the bid and then face a delay getting permitted. The safer move is to have the bond active before you ever submit a bid for Perrysburg sewer work. That way your registration is current and no permit application gets held up waiting on your bond paperwork.
I already have a sewer tapper's bond for another city in Ohio. Does that cover my work in Perrysburg?
No. A sewer tapper's bond issued for another city — even a neighboring municipality in Wood County — does not satisfy Perrysburg's requirement. Each city's bond names that city as the obligee, and the bond only protects that specific municipality. If you're expanding your sewer work into Perrysburg, you need a bond that names the City of Perrysburg as the obligee. If you regularly work across multiple Ohio cities, you'll need a separate bond for each jurisdiction that requires one.
Does this bond replace my general liability insurance or workers' comp coverage?
No — and this is an important distinction. The Perrysburg Sewer Tapper's Bond is a surety bond, not insurance. It protects the City of Perrysburg if you fail to meet your obligations as a bonded contractor. Your general liability policy protects third parties from property damage or bodily injury caused by your work, and workers' comp covers your employees. These coverages serve completely different purposes and most contractors working in Perrysburg are expected to carry all three. The bond is the city's financial backstop; liability and workers' comp are your operational protections.
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.
