Protect yourself. Don't let an unlicensed contractor ruin a great project.
Do your research before you hire a contractor:
Do they have a Minnesota state license?
Have they been involved in lawsuits or criminal charges?
Do you perform septic system work?
Contractors who install subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS) are licensed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
Contractors licensed by MPCA don't need to file a pipe-laying bond with us. They will file their bond with MPCA only.
If you are licensed by MPCA, do not renew your bond with us. Submit your $25,000 SSTS bond to MPCA.
What if I don't do septic system work?
