About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the land-disturbance bond actually covers

Virginia delegates erosion and sediment control to local programs, and the City of Harrisonburg runs its own. Before the City issues a land-disturbance 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 the City of Harrisonburg (the obligee). If you leave a site without functioning controls, the City can draw on the bond to complete or correct the work and stabilize the site.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow their approved plan treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount the City set — the premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information at the standard amount.
