The bond Greensville County requires as a condition of a land-disturbing permit, guaranteeing you install and maintain the erosion and sediment controls on your approved plan. The County sets the amount — the premium is 2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry.
















Enter your amount, consent to one soft credit pull, and file with the County. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the County required, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond with your land-disturbing permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the County insists on them.
Virginia delegates erosion and sediment control to local programs, and Greensville County administers its own. Before the County issues a land-disturbing permit, it can require a bond guaranteeing you install, inspect, and maintain the erosion and sediment controls shown on your approved plan.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Greensville County (the obligee). If you leave a site without functioning controls — silt fence down, no stabilization, sediment leaving the property — the County can draw on the bond to complete or correct the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow their approved plan treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount the County set — the premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with one soft credit check that never affects your score.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
