About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Noblesville maintenance bond actually guarantees

When a subdivider finishes the public improvements in a new Noblesville subdivision — streets, sanitary and storm sewers, water lines, sidewalks, street signs, street lights, and fire hydrants — the Board of Public Works (or, outside city limits, the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners) will not accept dedication of that work until the subdivider files a maintenance bond under Noblesville City Code § 159.062(B).

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, typically the subdivider or developer), the surety carrier, and the city or county (the obligee). The bond guarantees the satisfactory condition of the improvements for three years after the city or county accepts and dedicates them — if a street, sewer line, or sidewalk fails to hold up, the obligee can draw on the bond to fix it, and if the surety pays, the subdivider repays the surety. It is a workmanship backstop, not insurance for you.

The penal sum is set in the fee schedule and confirmed by the City or County Engineer as adequate to assure the improvements — the ordinance sets a floor of at least 15% of the total cost of the non-street improvements and installations, with the street-maintenance figure set separately. The Board of Works may reduce the amount for good cause if the intent of the bond survives. Enter the figure your Engineer confirmed; we price the bond from a $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.

Noblesville City Code § 159.062(B) · City of Noblesville Board of Public WorksNoblesville City Code Chapter 159 (Unified Development), § 159.062(B), requires a subdivider to file a maintenance bond and/or agreement with the Board of Public Works (or, for subdivisions outside city limits, the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners) prior to dedication, to assure the satisfactory condition of required public improvements. The bond runs to and is in favor of the city (or, outside city limits, the county), is in a penal sum established in the fee schedule as adequate by the Engineer, and covers streets, sanitary and storm sewers, water lines, sidewalks, street signs, street lights, and fire hydrants for three years from the date the improvements are accepted and dedicated. The section sets the non-street maintenance amount at no less than 15% of the total cost of those improvements, and lets the Board of Works and Safety reduce the penal sum for good cause where the bond's intent is preserved. Confirm your specific penal sum with the Noblesville City Engineer or the current fee schedule in Appendix A of Chapter 159.
