Hendersonville excavation bonds.
$250 flat.
The City of Hendersonville requires excavation contractors to post a $50,000 bond before cutting, boring, or opening its streets and rights-of-way — ours is $250 flat, and the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

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.
