What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Hendersonville excavation bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee. When you open a city street to lay a line or set a utility, the city wants assurance you'll backfill, repave, and restore the right-of-way to its standards — and pay for the repair if you don't.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hendersonville (the obligee). If excavation work damages city property or a cut is left unrestored, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond.
The bond must stay active while your permits are open. Let it lapse and the city can suspend your right to work in the right-of-way — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $50,000 filing continuous.

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 $50,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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
