What this bond does
The Department of Permitting Services identifies sediment control as one of the permit programs requiring bond security. For the surety option, the county directs the issuing insurance company to use its performance bond template and include a power-of-attorney statement.
- Who needs it
- The sediment-control permit applicant or permittee arranging the security required by Montgomery County DPS.
- Who it protects
- The security supports completion of the permitted work and stabilization or restoration under county codes and standards. It is distinct from liability insurance and from a separate public right-of-way bond, even though DPS administers both.

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
Must I use a surety bond for the county security?
DPS lists cash, a performance bond, a letter of credit and an eligible certificate of guaranty as alternatives. This page's provider option starts a surety application, not a county cash deposit or another instrument.
Does the sediment-control bond also satisfy a right-of-way request?
Do not assume it does. DPS treats right-of-way security separately and uses different estimating instructions. Match the actual sediment-control permit and any additional stormwater-device security requested for it.
How do I proceed?
