What this bond does

The offering supports the plumbing contractor's health-department registration. Its work classification and named obligee should match the department's plumbing application rather than an unrelated city contractor license.

Who needs it
A plumbing contractor registering to work within the Hocking County Health Department's jurisdiction. The application distinguishes plumbing contractors, water conditioner installers and backflow technicians.
Who it protects
Use the department's accepted bond condition to identify the secured plumbing duties and protected interest. The required bond is separate from the general liability insurance and Ohio contractor credential listed on the application.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

State the plumbing work covered

The application requires a plumbing contractor to include a $20,000 bond, general liability evidence, and a current Ohio contractor license. It lists different documentation for water conditioner installers and backflow technicians.

The bond must state the type of work covered. Do not assume a plumbing designation automatically satisfies a separate installer or tester registration merely because the application contains all three categories.

Match the department and December 31 expiration

The posted application specifically says the bond must name Hocking County Health Department as obligee and expire December 31. Use the department's current registration-year direction for the actual date.

Confirm the issued bond’s dates and the provider’s premium separately from the registration-year requirement.

Questions about this bond

What does the department's plumbing application require for the bond?

It lists $20,000, the Hocking County Health Department as obligee, the type of work covered and a December 31 expiration. Confirm the current registration-year instructions.

Does that mean the provider sells a twelve-month term?

No. Use the December 31 expiration for the registration year in your request. The bond's effective date may fall partway through that year.

Does the bond replace general liability insurance?

No. The plumbing contractor checklist asks for both the bond and proof of general liability, as well as the current Ohio contractor license.

Can a backflow technician use the same checklist?

The application gives backflow technicians their own documentation requirements. Ask the department which registration and security apply to the actual work.
