What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Lafayette plumbing permit bond is a code-compliance and restoration guarantee. The city wants assurance that sewer-repair and grease-trap work is done to code and that any public infrastructure touched is left whole.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lafayette (the obligee). If permitted work violates code or damages the city's system and you don't make it right, the city can recover against the bond.
The city sets $1,000 for sewer-repair-only and grease-trap-only permits (sewer and water taps carry a higher $5,000 bond). The bond must be on file before the permit is issued, so we keep it current and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
