About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An excavation permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Balch Springs. When you cut into a City street, alley, or right-of-way, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll backfill, compact, and repave the cut to City standards — and stand behind that repair if it settles or fails.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Balch Springs (the obligee). If your restoration fails or you abandon the cut, the City can repair it and recover its cost against the bond up to $5,000.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the cut properly treat the bond as a permit formality, and we keep the filing continuous with renewal reminders.
