Overview
Get bonded with the City of Ravenna and tap into water and sewer lines legally before your crew hits the ground. Ravenna's Water and Sewer Tapper Bond is a financial guarantee that protects the city's infrastructure and confirms you'll do the work right. Without it, Ravenna won't authorize your tap connection — and the job stops before it starts. Have this bond in hand and move forward with confidence.
Who Needs This Bond?
Plumbers, utility contractors, and excavation contractors performing water and sewer tap connections within Ravenna, Ohio need this bond. If you're connecting a residential or commercial property to Ravenna's municipal water or sewer system, this is your bond. It applies whether you're working on a new build, a replacement tap, or an upgrade to an existing service line. Any contractor authorized to pull a tapping permit in Ravenna is the applicant here.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that work performed on Ravenna's water and sewer infrastructure meets the city's standards and will not damage the public system. If a tapping contractor causes harm to the city's lines or fails to restore the work site properly, the bond provides a financial remedy for the city. It protects Ravenna residents and municipal infrastructure from substandard connections. It also holds the contractor accountable for the quality of every tap they make within city limits.
When is it Required?
Before any water or sewer tap permit is issued in Ravenna, this bond must already be on file with the city. The moment you register as an approved tapper or apply for a tapping permit through Ravenna's public works or utilities department, the bond requirement kicks in. You cannot legally begin a tap connection — or even receive permit authorization — without it. Get the bond first, then proceed with your permit application.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the City of Ravenna, Ohio. It is a local requirement tied to Ravenna's municipal water and sewer system — not an Ohio state license bond. Work you perform in other cities or counties in Portage County or elsewhere in Ohio requires separate local bonds for those jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Ravenna Water and Sewer Tapper Bond satisfy Ohio's state contractor licensing requirements?
No. This bond satisfies a local Ravenna requirement only. It is separate from any Ohio state license or state-level surety bond you may be required to hold through the Ohio Contractors Board or any other state agency. If Ohio requires a bond tied to your state contractor license, that is a different bond entirely. Make sure you have both if your trade requires it.
Do I need this bond in place before bidding on a tap job in Ravenna, or only before I start the work?
Technically, the bond is required before you can receive a tapping permit from the City of Ravenna — not at the bid stage. However, if you're bidding a project where a Ravenna tap is in scope, being bonded in advance shows the property owner or GC that you're already approved to perform tap work in the city. Smart contractors get bonded before they bid so there's no delay when the contract is awarded.
If I expand into another city or move my operation out of Ravenna, does this bond transfer?
No. The Ravenna Water and Sewer Tapper Bond is specific to the City of Ravenna and its municipal system. If you begin performing tap work in another Ohio city — say, Kent, Aurora, or Streetsboro — you will need to obtain the bond required by that jurisdiction separately. Each municipality has its own registration and bonding requirements. Check with the local public works or utilities office in any new city before you pull a permit.
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.
