Subdivision Bond FAQ’s

We want you to feel comfortable working with our surety bond company and realize you may still have questions. Our FAQ section below will help you understand more about our business and what we do. Let’s learn more!

What is a subdivision bond, and why is it required?

Subdivision bonds, which are sometimes referred to as developer, site improvement, or plat bonds, offer a financial guarantee to local governments for specific development projects.

They guarantee that developers follow all applicable requirements and build improvements to the infrastructure within the boundaries of a subdivision, such as roadways, walkways, and more, in accordance with authorized designs and standards.

The bond protects the city and potential property owners in situations where the builder fails to meet their responsibilities, such as making required renovations or correcting any problems. They contribute to the safe development of subdivisions and the proper construction of infrastructure prior to the sale or occupancy of properties.

What do subdivision bonds cost?

The premium you will pay for a site improvement bond will depend on a number of factors, such as the bond amount, your creditworthiness, the scope of the project, and your experience as a developer.

Moreover, the location in which the project will be completed will also play a part in determining the price you pay, in addition to market conditions and the length of the project.

To learn more about the subdivision bond cost, it’s best to get in touch with us, and we will provide a more realistic estimate.

What information will I need to provide when setting up site improvement bonds?

When applying for developer bonds, you will normally be expected to provide project details (such as the location, scope, and timeline for the work), the necessary bond amount, a copy of the subdivision agreement, and any applicable documentation relating to the development plans and specifications.

In addition, you may be required to submit personal and corporate accounting records, information pertaining to your credit, prior project references, and more, in order to establish your eligibility.

One of our representatives will guide you through the process to ensure that you know exactly what is expected of you.

Is a performance bond and a subdivision surety bond the same thing?

No, they are not the same. Understanding the difference between a subdivision bond vs. performance bond is important. A performance bond is a sort of surety bond that guarantees a contractor will finish a project in accordance with the conditions of the contract. It safeguards the project owner from monetary loss if the service provider fails to meet their responsibilities.

On the other hand, subdivision bonds provide the assurance that infrastructure upgrades within a subdivision development are completed as promised. While both bonds offer financial protection, they serve different functions and address different aspects of construction projects.

How do I apply for a subdivision bond?

If your job involves performing public improvements, you will need to get in touch with us. Our team will request certain essential documentation to determine your eligibility. You will also need to submit a completed subdivision bond form, and we will help you get your bond set up.

How long does a completion bond remain in effect?

The period of a subdivision bond’s effectiveness varies according to local rules and municipality-specific restrictions.

In many circumstances, subdivision development bonds are valid until all infrastructure improvements within the subdivision are finished and approved by the local government agency or body supervising the construction.

Once the renovations are considered adequate and meet all standards, the bond can be released or dismissed. However, if the bond arrangement specifies ongoing maintenance duties or warranty periods, its validity could continue after the initial work is completed.
