Tulsa Septic Tank Installer Bond
What it is & who requires it
Installers licensed by Tulsa to install and repair septic tank systems. This is a city credential and it sits on top of the state one rather than instead of it: the Department of Environmental Quality certifies on-site sewage installers statewide and requires its own, much larger bond in the individual’s name, so an installer working in Tulsa should expect both filings and should not treat either as satisfying the other. The city license turns on demonstrated knowledge of the construction, installation, operation and use of septic tank systems, shown to the Director’s satisfaction. A separate security deposit is required in addition to the bond.
Obligee: City of Tulsa (Director of the Health Department). Citation: Tulsa Revised Ordinances, Title 17 (Health Regulations) — license to install and repair septic tank systems; bond unto the City of Tulsa filed with the Director; additional security deposit.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the annual license to install and repair septic tank systems.
Renewal: Annual, with the license fee.
Filing
Filed with the Director of the Health Department unto the City of Tulsa, with a surety company authorized to do business in the state — the ordinance names the instrument, which is what carries the figure. The conditions cover faulty or improper construction of any septic tank system the licensee builds or repairs, faithful performance of the trade, and compliance with the city ordinances. The additional security deposit is a separate, smaller cash amount paid to the Director and is not an alternative to the bond. Because the state DEQ certification carries its own bond at a different level and in a different name, check which of the two a request is actually asking for.
