Haywood County erosion control bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
Haywood County can require an erosion control bond as a condition of a land-disturbing permit — financial assurance that you will install and maintain erosion control and stabilize the site. The county sets the amount; premiums are 2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. A soft credit pull may apply but never changes your price, and your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the erosion control bond actually covers
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Act lets local governments run their own erosion and sedimentation control programs. Haywood County administers a land-disturbing permit program and can require a surety bond as financial assurance for an approved erosion and sediment control plan.
The bond runs to Haywood County as obligee. It guarantees you will install the erosion control measures on your approved plan, maintain them through construction, and stabilize the disturbed area — so the county has funds to complete the work and protect downstream waters if you don't.
It is a guarantee, not insurance for you: if the county draws on the bond because the work wasn't done, you repay the surety. Once the site is stabilized and the county signs off, the obligation is released.
