What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A zoning-permit bond is a performance guarantee to the Town of Westport that you will complete the site improvements your zoning approval requires — drainage, grading, landscaping, and similar work shown on your approved plan.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Westport (the obligee). If the required improvements aren't finished, the town can use the bond to complete them, up to the bond amount.
The bond stays in place until the town releases it. Keep it active until Planning & Zoning accepts the completed work; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so a long project never lapses on a missed email.
