What it is and who needs it.
What the erosion control bond covers
When you disturb land for development in Shelton — grading, clearing, or building — the City of Shelton requires erosion and sediment controls under its land use regulations and Connecticut’s soil erosion and sediment control law, and conditions the approval on a surety bond.
The bond runs to the City of Shelton as obligee. It guarantees that your silt fence, sediment basins, and stabilization measures stay in place and functioning until the site is permanently stabilized. If controls fail and the city has to install or repair them, it can recover its cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Developers who maintain their controls through final stabilization treat the bond as a permit formality. Premiums start from $125; no credit check up to $10,000.

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 City of Shelton. Submit the executed bond to the City of Shelton land use / engineering office. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
