From $125.
Loudoun County, Virginia requires an erosion & sediment control bond before you begin land-disturbing activity under an approved E&S plan. The penal sum is set by the County's Department of Building & Development — pricing is 1% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, from a $125 minimum, and a soft credit pull that never touches your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An erosion & sediment control bond is a performance guarantee to Loudoun County. When you disturb land, the County wants assurance the approved E&S measures stay in place and the site is stabilized — protecting downstream waters and neighboring property.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Loudoun County, Virginia (the obligee). If E&S controls fail or the site isn't stabilized, the County can recover its remediation costs against the bond.
The bond stays on file until the County releases it. We track expirations and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your standing with Building & Development never lapses mid-project.
