Overview
Union County, Ohio protects its residents, waterways, and public health by requiring sewage and septage operators to carry this bond before they can legally work in the county. Issued through the Union County Board of Health, this bond guarantees that permitted pumpers, haulers, and installers will handle sewage and septage in full compliance with county health regulations. If a covered operator improperly disposes of waste, contaminates property, or fails to meet Board of Health standards, the bond stands behind any resulting claim. It is a non-negotiable condition of your permit — not an optional add-on.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you pump, haul, or dispose of septage in Union County, Ohio, the Board of Health requires this bond as part of your permit. Septic tank pumpers, septage haulers, and sewage system contractors who operate within Union County's jurisdiction all fall under this requirement. You cannot legally haul or dispose of septage in the county without the bond in place. If the Board of Health has sent you a permit application or renewal notice that lists a surety bond requirement, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect Union County residents, property owners, and the environment from harm caused by improper sewage and septage handling. The Union County Board of Health is the obligee — they hold the bond and can initiate a claim if a permitted operator violates health regulations, illegally dumps waste, or fails to properly manage septage disposal. The bond gives the county a financial remedy when a bonded operator causes contamination or fails to follow the terms of their permit. It holds operators accountable to the same public health standards the county enforces for everyone.
When is it Required?
Every time you apply for or renew your Union County Board of Health sewage and septage hauling permit, the bond must be active and on file. There is no grace period — the county will not issue or continue your permit without it. If your bond lapses during the permit term, your authorization to haul or dispose of septage in Union County lapses with it. Keep your bond current and make sure your renewal is processed before your existing term expires.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond covers your operations within Union County, Ohio only. It satisfies the Union County Board of Health permit requirement — not any other Ohio county or state-level license. If you haul septage across county lines into neighboring jurisdictions, those counties have their own permit and bonding requirements. Work performed outside Union County is not covered by this bond.

What kinds of actions can trigger a claim on this bond?
A claim can be filed if you illegally dispose of septage at an unauthorized site, discharge waste in a way that contaminates soil or water, fail to follow the disposal and reporting conditions of your Union County Board of Health permit, or otherwise violate county sewage and septage regulations. The Board of Health or an affected property owner can pursue a claim to recover costs associated with cleanup, contamination remediation, or regulatory penalties caused by your operations.
