Three steps to filed.
Subdivision stormwater bonds are performance-style, so there is one soft credit pull. Here is the whole process:
Apply online
Your business details, the final plat name and project name, the bond amount the city required, and the effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Reviewed & approved
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything on a larger stormwater bond, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the subdivision stormwater bond covers
The City of Fayetteville conditions final plat approval on the developer guaranteeing that required stormwater improvements — pipes, basins, controls — get built to city standards. When the work is bonded rather than completed first, the city accepts a surety bond in place of the improvements.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fayetteville (the obligee). If the stormwater improvements aren't completed as approved, the city can recover against the bond to finish the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the bond guarantees real construction, the application includes a soft credit check — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score. Pricing starts from $100 and varies with the bond amount.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
