Who Is Required To Purchase an Oklahoma Septic Tank Installer, Septic Pumper, and/or Transporter Surety Bond?

Each license is independent and is required to purchase a surety bond in the following amount:

DEQ refers to a septic tank installer as an individual and small public on-site sewage treatment license.

These bond amounts are the total financial protection afforded to your customers and the Oklahoma DEQ. This protection is why a surety bond is required.

 

Why is an Oklahoma Sewage Septic Service Bond Required?

There are numerous environmental hazards, laws, and licensing regulations when dealing with septic tank installation, pumping, and transporting sewage.

This is why the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality regulates and requires licensing for these activities.

In addition to the licensing requirements and examination requirements, the surety bond is another layer of protection holding installers and pumpers and transporters accountable to state and their customers.

Every year there is a small number of septic tank installers, pumpers, and/or transporters who will purposefully and financially harm their customers or neglect regulations to make or save more money.

Examples of these actions can include:

• Choosing to cut corners when installing a septic tank
• Using unregulated tanks or equipment
• Improperly pumping a tank
• Disposing of sewage material in the wrong locations
• Charging customers fake fees or taking deposits and failing to complete jobs

If a customer is harmed by these actions or similar action, they can make a claim against the surety bond for financial compensation, but only up to the bond amount.

 

How Much Does an Oklahoma Septic Tank Installer, Septic Pumper, and/or Transporter Bond Cost?

The septic tank installer bond, the septic pumper, and sewage transporter bond are all credit driven bonds.

This means the personal credit is going to play a primary factor in the price of your bond.

There is no way around having credit be a factor no matter where you go to purchase your bond.

The price you pay is determined by a rate that is quoted from a surety. A surety is an insurance company that underwrites this type of surety bond.

Here's a list of all the factors the surety will use to quote a rate:

• Personal credit of the licensee, business owner or owners
• Industry experience and past licensing history
• Prior surety bond claims if applicable

And even though all sureties use similar factors, the rates they quote can and often differ by one, to two, even three percentage points.

And this is how you can save hundreds, even thousands, of dollars when you purchase your bond.
