About this bond

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.

County of York — Environmental & Development ServicesThe County of York, Virginia requires a stormwater development bond as a condition of its stormwater management program for development, consistent with the Virginia Stormwater Management Act as administered by the County.
