Filing
Filed with Island County Public Health as a condition of your on-site sewage installer or maintenance service provider licence. The amount depends on the licence you hold — $30,000 for an installer or an operation and maintenance specialist, and $10,000 for an operation and maintenance technician — and the county code requires a surety bond executed by a surety company authorised to do business in Washington, with no cash or letter-of-credit alternative. It must be issued on Island County’s own bond form and approved as to form by the county prosecuting attorney. A single bond covers both roles if you hold both licences, and it stays on the hook for thirty-six months after your licence ends. Authority is Island County Code 8.07D.
