What this bond does
The county's published template addresses failure to meet the land-disturbance permit's erosion, sedimentation and pollution-control conditions. It provides security for stabilizing the site and bringing it into compliance, not a general contractor license.
- Who needs it
- The company or other principal named in the county's project request. Its April 2025 administrative form says the principal must match the Notice of Intent and/or land-disturbance permit application.
- Who it protects
- The template names the Board of Commissioners of Columbia County. The administration form separately addresses eligible security instruments and a possible exception where the county already has performance and maintenance security for the same improvements and permit conditions. Do not assume a second bond is always necessary.

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
Should the principal match the contractor's trade name?
Use the county's request. Its administrative form requires a match to the Notice of Intent and/or land-disturbance application and requests company registration information where applicable.
Does every project need duplicate erosion security?
The administrative form describes an exception involving performance and maintenance security for the same improvements and permit conditions. Obtain the department's determination; do not assume that any existing bond qualifies.
Where do I apply?
