What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Town of Kitty Hawk conditions a residential building permit on a $5,000 surety bond. As an Outer Banks town managing oceanfront and floodplain construction, Kitty Hawk uses the bond to back the permitted work and protect public infrastructure and neighboring property.
The bond runs to the Town of Kitty Hawk as obligee. It guarantees you will complete the permitted residential work in accordance with the permit and town requirements, and that any damage to town right-of-way, streets, drainage, or utilities during construction is repaired.
It is a guarantee, not insurance for you: if the town has to draw on the bond to repair damage or finish required work, you repay the surety. Permit holders who finish to code and leave the right-of-way clean treat the bond as a permit formality.
