About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A land disturbance bond on a Shawnee low-impact permit guarantees that you'll control erosion and sediment, keep mud out of the public right-of-way, and restore the site as the city requires.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Shawnee (the obligee). If you fail to maintain erosion controls or restore the right-of-way and the city has to act, Shawnee can recover against the bond.

Shawnee Development Engineering ties this fixed $5,000 bond to low-impact land disturbance permits — Shawnee guidelines set a $5,000 minimum surety before such a permit issues. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety.

City of Shawnee — Development Engineering (low impact land disturbance)The City of Shawnee's low-impact land disturbance permit guidelines require a performance/maintenance surety of at least $5,000 prior to permit issuance, generally to cover erosion and sediment control and removal of mud from the public right-of-way. The bond is administered by the Development Engineering division; confirm the amount and form on your permit packet, or send it to us and we'll match it.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Shawnee low-impact land disturbance bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. The bond amount is a fixed $5,000 set by the city, and while 3% of $5,000 is $150, the $275 minimum applies. Same price for every applicant.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Shawnee if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you control erosion and sediment, keep mud out of the public right-of-way, and restore the site. If you fail to and the city acts, it can claim against the bond.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond stays active until the city releases you from the permit. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so coverage never lapses.
