What this bond does
This offering concerns the grading-permit promise in the required city document. Match the project, plan or permit and any specified completion, stabilization or restoration work rather than assuming the bond secures every improvement on the property.
- Who needs it
- The legal principal required to furnish the city grading security. The property owner, developer, engineer and grading contractor may have different roles in the application.
- Who it protects
- The bond supports the written undertaking to its named recipient. It does not provide liability insurance, approve engineering plans or automatically satisfy a county grading or general construction bond request.

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
Can a Santa Clara County grading form be used?
Do not assume equivalence. Match the City of Santa Clara recipient and accepted undertaking for this request.
Does a city engineering permit listing establish every bond requirement?
No. Use the specific security instructions for your project and required form rather than inferring amounts, terms or acceptance from a permit directory.
How can I apply?
