Before land-disturbing construction in the City of St. Clair, the City of St. Clair requires a soil erosion and sedimentation control (SESC) permit — and a bond guaranteeing the erosion controls are installed and the site stabilized. The City sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard soil erosion bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the City. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the City required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your soil erosion and sedimentation control permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your St. Clair permit and the premium updates.
Michigan requires soil erosion and sedimentation control (SESC) permits for earth-disturbing work near surface water or on slopes, and the City of St. Clair administers that program for projects inside the city. The bond is a completion-and-restoration guarantee for the erosion controls on your permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of St. Clair (the obligee). If you fail to install or maintain the required silt fences, basins, and stabilization, and the City has to step in, it can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow their approved SESC plan 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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of St. Clair set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
