About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A drain layer bond is a public-infrastructure protection guarantee. When you connect a property to the Township's storm or sanitary drains, the Township of Macomb wants a financial backstop that the work meets its specifications and that any damage to public drains, roads, or rights-of-way gets repaired.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Macomb (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a layer's work is defective or damages public infrastructure, the Township can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for as long as you're licensed. Let it lapse and the Township can pull your drain-connection privileges — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $1,000 filing continuous.

Township of Macomb — Building / Public WorksThe Township of Macomb requires a $1,000 surety bond as a condition of its drain layer license. The bond amount and terms are set by the Township through its Building / Public Works department; confirm the current requirements with the Township before you apply.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Macomb Township drain layer bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. A flat 3% of the $1,000 bond is $30, which falls below the $275 minimum, so $275 is the price. Same for every Macomb drain layer.
Do I pay the $1,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $1,000 is the surety's maximum liability 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-amount license bonds like this issue right after purchase — many layers 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 township license bonds like this don't need one.
Where do I file it? +
With the Township of Macomb — the Building / Public Works department — alongside your drain layer license. We deliver the executed bond ready to submit.
