About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the permit compliance bond covers

El Paso County's Department of Public Works permits construction within the unincorporated county, and conditions many permits on a surety bond. The bond is the applicant's proof of financial resources sufficient to restore and repair the area affected by the permitted work.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and El Paso County (the obligee). If you fail to complete the work to County standards or fail to restore what you disturb, the County can recover against the bond up to its penal sum.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the County on a valid claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to the Engineering Criteria Manual and restore the site treat the bond as a permit formality.

El Paso County — Department of Public WorksEl Paso County requires a construction / permit-compliance surety bond as a condition of its construction permits, administered by the Department of Public Works; the bond amount and terms are set by the County and sized to the cost of restoring the permitted work. Permit standards are detailed in the County Engineering Criteria Manual (ECM) — confirm the required amount on your permit.
