Start Your ApplicationWhat Is a Subdivision Bond?
A subdivision bond is a surety bond required by municipalities and counties when a developer builds a new residential or commercial subdivision. The bond guarantees that the developer will complete all required public infrastructure improvements — roads, sidewalks, sewer lines, water systems, and drainage — before the municipality accepts responsibility for maintaining them.
If a developer fails to complete these improvements, the municipality can file a claim against the bond to fund completion of the work using another contractor.

Subdivision bonds typically guarantee completion of the public infrastructure required before a municipality will accept a new development.
Roads & Streets
Paving, curbs, and street signage required for the development.
Water & Sewer Systems
