Montgomery County sediment control bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
Before it lets you clear or grade land, Montgomery County requires a sediment-control bond guaranteeing your erosion and sediment controls are installed, maintained, and the site is stabilized. The County's Department of Permitting Services (DPS) sets the amount — we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the sediment control bond actually guarantees
Montgomery County administers erosion and sediment control through its Department of Permitting Services (DPS). When a project disturbs land, the County conditions the sediment-control permit on a surety bond standing behind the controls being installed and maintained.
The bond is a performance guarantee: it backs the silt fences, sediment traps, stabilization, and cleanup the approved plan requires. Montgomery County (the obligee) can draw on the bond to install or repair the controls if you fail to, protecting downstream waterways and neighbors.
It is not insurance for you. If the County draws on the bond and the surety pays, you repay the surety. The amount DPS sets is generally tied to the cost of the sediment-control measures and final site stabilization.
