What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A stormwater development bond is a performance guarantee to the County of York. When your development includes stormwater management facilities, the County wants assurance those facilities are built, function, and are maintained to spec — protecting downstream property and water quality.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the County of York, Virginia (the obligee). If the stormwater facilities aren't completed or don't perform, the County can recover its completion 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 Environmental & Development Services never lapses mid-project.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
