About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the sediment & erosion control bond covers

Durham County administers land-disturbing activity through its sediment and erosion control program, assigning each approved project a job control number. The bond stands behind your agreement to install and maintain the approved erosion-control measures so sediment does not leave the site.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Durham County (the obligee). If the erosion-control measures aren't installed or maintained as approved, the county can recover against the bond to bring the site into compliance.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount Durham County set, at the price shown at application — no credit information required — on the bond form the county names.

Durham County — sediment & erosion control programDurham County requires a sediment and erosion control bond as a condition of a land-disturbing permit, administered through the county's sediment and erosion control program (each project carries a Durham County job control number); the bond amount and terms are set by the county. Confirm the amount on your approval, or send it to us and we will match it.
