What this bond does
The county form ties the principal's obligation to the approved stormwater management plans for a named development project under Chapter 26, Article VII. It concerns construction of that system, not a blanket guarantee for every activity on the property.
- Who needs it
- The principal responsible for the stormwater management system identified by the Buncombe County project name and STW project number.
- Who it protects
- Buncombe County Government, Planning and Development is the obligee named on the published form. The bond supports the specified system's completion and installation; it is not pollution liability insurance or a general contractor license.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is this the same as temporary erosion-control security?
The published form specifically addresses completion and installation of the approved stormwater management system. Do not assume a temporary erosion-control bond or another site's bond satisfies this request.
What shows the obligation has been completed?
The form refers to receipt of a bond release letter and Certificate of Compliance for the project number. Confirm the county's actual completion process rather than assuming that the end of construction or a year after purchase releases the bond.
