Solid Waste Hauler Permit ($10,000) Bond - Nassau County, FL in Florida

Brief Summary

A Nassau County hauler permit runs five years, not one, so the $10,000 bond needs to stay in force the whole time. Getting it right the first time keeps your trucks working in unincorporated Nassau County without a gap. You pay a premium instead of posting $10,000 in cash.

Solid waste haulers that collect residential or commercial waste in unincorporated Nassau County must hold a non exclusive Solid Waste Hauler Permit under Nassau County Ordinance No. 96-12. The $10,000 surety bond guarantees that the hauler meets the permit conditions and pays what it owes the county. Permits are granted for five years from the date of issue, and the application goes to Nassau County Solid Waste with a $500 permit fee.

The permit runs five years

Many haulers expect an annual permit. Nassau County grants or extends Solid Waste Hauler Permits for a period of five years, beginning with the date the permit is issued. Plan for the bond to stay continuously in force across that term and confirm with the county how it wants the bond renewed or continued.

Who needs the permit

Any hauler collecting residential or commercial solid waste in the unincorporated areas of Nassau County must obtain a non exclusive permit under Nassau County Ordinance No. 96-12.
