What it is and who needs it.
What the erosion control bond actually guarantees
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 22a-329 requires every Connecticut municipality to adopt regulations providing for soil erosion and sediment control on development sites, including a certified control plan for any project disturbing more than half an acre. Montville implements that mandate by conditioning a zoning permit on a surety bond, posted before the permit issues, in a form acceptable to the Town.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Montville (the obligee), with the town’s soil and water resources as the protected interest. The bond is not released until the Zoning Officer and/or Director of Land Use & Development confirms your site’s erosion and sediment control measures — silt fence, sediment basins, and final stabilization — are in place and working.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety has to fund cleanup or control measures you failed to install, you repay the surety. Enter the bond amount your zoning permit names; 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 Land Use & Development office. Submit the executed bond to satisfy the condition on your zoning permit. 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.
Submit the application with the bond amount your zoning permit requires. The soft pull informs approval and never touches your score.
