What it is and who needs it.
What the temporary sign bond actually covers
A temporary sign bond is a compliance and removal guarantee. When you put up temporary or portable signs — banners, A-frames, grand-opening or special-event signage — the City of Southfield wants assurance the signs follow the city sign code and come down when the permit ends.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Southfield (the obligee). If signs aren't removed on time or violate the sign rules and the City has to act, it can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Permit-holders who follow the sign rules and remove signs on schedule treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount the City set, and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
