Union County, OH Sewer Tapper and Builder's Bond
Overview
Union County, OH protects its sewer infrastructure and surrounding properties by requiring sewer tappers and builders to carry this bond before performing connection work in the county. Contractors who tap into Union County's sewer lines take on real responsibility — for the integrity of the connection, the condition of the surrounding ground, and any damage caused during or after the work. This bond backs that responsibility with a financial guarantee the county can enforce if something goes wrong. It is a local Union County requirement, entirely separate from any state-level contractor license bond.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a contractor performing sewer tapping or sewer connection work in Union County, Ohio, this bond is required before the county will issue your permit or register you to do that work. Builders coordinating sewer tie-ins on new construction projects in Union County fall under this requirement as well. This is not a statewide license bond — it is a county-specific obligation tied directly to working within Union County's sewer system jurisdiction.
What is this Bond For?
Union County uses this bond to hold sewer tappers and builders financially accountable for the work they perform on or near county sewer infrastructure. If a contractor's connection work causes damage to the sewer line, adjacent property, or the surrounding roadway or ground, the bond provides a mechanism for the county or an injured party to seek compensation. It is a performance guarantee tied to the condition of the work, not a license certificate. The bond signals to Union County that you stand behind every connection you make.
When is it Required?
Renewal or reissuance of your Union County sewer tapping registration or permit authorization triggers the need to keep this bond continuously active — a lapse in coverage can halt your ability to pull permits in the county. The bond is required at the point of application for a sewer tap permit or county contractor registration, before any work begins on a connection. If you expand your operation and take on additional sewer work within Union County, the same bond requirement applies regardless of how many projects you are running simultaneously.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within Union County, Ohio. It is issued to satisfy a Union County local jurisdiction requirement and carries no authority in any other Ohio county or municipality. Contractors working sewer tap jobs in adjacent counties will need separate bonds for those jurisdictions.
