The Basics

What 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.
