What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Homewood conditions land-disturbing work — clearing, grading, earthwork, and soil-erosion control — on a permit and a surety bond. The bond backs your compliance with the City's land-disturbance and erosion-control rules, including site stabilization and restoration.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Homewood (the obligee). If you fail to control erosion, damage City infrastructure, or leave a site unrestored, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the City sets the figure with the permit, enter that amount and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
