Killingworth subdivision bonds.
From $100.
When the Killingworth Planning and Zoning Commission approves a subdivision, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-25 lets the applicant bond the required roads, drainage, and other public improvements instead of building them before the plan is recorded. The Commission sets the amount; pricing is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

Issued on the spot
The soft pull informs approval and never touches your score. Larger improvement amounts may get a brief review before the executed bond generates.
File with the Town Clerk
Submit the executed bond to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Clerk so your subdivision plan can be recorded. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What it is and who needs it.
What the subdivision bond actually guarantees
Connecticut subdivision law, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-25, lets a planning commission accept a surety bond, cash bond, or other financial guarantee in place of building a subdivision’s roads, drainage, and utilities before the plan is recorded. The Killingworth Planning and Zoning Commission uses this bond so a developer can record a subdivision and sell lots while still on the hook to finish the required public improvements.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Killingworth (the obligee), with future lot owners as the protected parties. Under the statute, the Commission may require a separate financial guarantee for erosion and sediment controls before any improvement work even begins, and if lots are conveyed and the improvements are not finished within the statutory period, the town can call the bond to finish the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays to complete the improvements, you repay the surety. Enter the bond amount the Commission approved for your subdivision; we price it from a $100 minimum with a soft-pull credit consent only.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Town Clerk. Submit the executed bond to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Clerk so your subdivision plan can be recorded. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application, then a quick review.
