Montgomery soil erosion bonds.
From $100.
The City of Montgomery requires a soil erosion and sediment control bond before land-disturbing work — grading, clearing, and development — under its earthwork rules. The city sets the amount by project; pricing starts at $100 and depends on the bond amount. The application captures your project name so it reads correctly on the bond form.

What it is and who needs it.
What the soil erosion bond actually covers
When you grade, clear, or disturb land in the City of Montgomery, the city's earthwork and stormwater rules require erosion and sediment controls — silt fence, inlet protection, stabilized entrances — and a surety bond standing behind them. The bond is a public-and-environmental guarantee: it stands behind you installing, maintaining, and removing those controls so sediment does not reach the city's streets and storm system.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Montgomery (the obligee), with the public and downstream property as the protected parties. If a developer fails to control erosion, lets sediment damage the right-of-way or storm system, or abandons the controls, the city can recover against the bond and complete the work.
Because the amount is set per project by the city, you enter whatever the City of Montgomery required for your land disturbance — and we name your project on the bond so it reads correctly. Pricing starts at $100, with no credit check up to $50,000 in the application.

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.
How to file it
File with the City of Montgomery. Submit the executed bond with your land-disturbing / earthwork permit to the City of Montgomery. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
