The Town of Mansfield requires a performance bond to guarantee completion of the public improvements tied to a subdivision, site plan, or permit — roads, drainage, sidewalks, and the like. The Town of Mansfield sets the amount on your approval; we issue it at a flat 3%, $275 minimum, with one soft credit pull.
















Performance bonds carry a quick review, but the process is short. Here's the whole thing — no broker phone tag:
Business details, the bond amount the town required, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.

Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your Mansfield approval and the premium updates.
When the Town of Mansfield approves a subdivision, site plan, or public-improvement permit, it conditions the approval on a performance bond guaranteeing that the required improvements — roads, drainage, utilities, sidewalks — actually get built to the town's standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Mansfield (the obligee). If the improvements are not completed as approved, the town can call on the bond to finish the work.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Because the surety stands behind completion, performance bonds carry a soft credit pull — it informs approval, never the price, which stays a flat 3%, $275 minimum.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
