About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the permit bond actually covers

Mecklenburg County administers land-disturbing and construction permits through its Land Use and Environmental Services Agency (LUESA). The bond stands behind your agreement to complete the permitted work and meet the county's land-use, grading, and construction conditions.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Mecklenburg County (the obligee). If permitted work is left incomplete or out of compliance, the county can recover against the bond to make it right.

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