About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Tapping a public sewer main means cutting into township infrastructure and restoring the street, the connection, and the surrounding right-of-way. The Charter Township of Chesterfield conditions a sewer connection permit on a surety bond so the township has a backstop if the work is left defective or the right-of-way is not restored.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Charter Township of Chesterfield (the obligee). If your connection work damages the township system or the restoration fails, the township can recover against the $5,000 bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who make a clean tap and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a permit formality.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Chesterfield Township sewer connection bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. The rate is a flat 3% of the $5,000 bond amount, which works out to $150, so the $275 floor applies. The amount is set by the township, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the township if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Small fixed municipal bonds like this issue right after purchase in most cases — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your township authorization never lapses over a missed email.
