What it is and who needs it.
What the performance bond actually guarantees
Snohomish County Public Works reviews and permits drainage facilities and utility work in the County right-of-way. When your project includes drainage improvements or ROW utility construction, the County conditions the permit on a performance bond.
The bond is a completion guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to build the drainage and utility improvements to County standards and within the permit. If you fail to complete or correct the work, the County can draw on the bond to finish it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County, you repay the surety. Once the County accepts the completed work, the performance obligation ends. We issue the amount the County set, with pricing starting from $100 and no credit information collected on the application.
