Questions

Street Improvement Bond FAQs

Is this different from a subdivision bond?
They are close cousins. A subdivision bond covers the full set of improvements in a development; a street improvement or grading bond covers the specific permitted work. Both guarantee completion to the agency's standard.
How much does it cost?
You pay a premium that is a percentage of the bonded amount, set by underwriting. We shop markets for your best rate, newer and credit-challenged contractors included.
