What this bond does

This bond secures the erosion-control work identified in the county's project requirements. It supports installation and maintenance of measures that keep disturbed soil and runoff from damaging drainage facilities and surrounding property.

Who needs it
Developers, property owners and contractors responding to a Snohomish County erosion-control security requirement.
Who it protects
The security protects the county's interest in completing required erosion and sediment controls. The bond's conditions define the secured duties and available remedy.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Connect the bond to the approved erosion-control plan

Identify the development site, permit holder and erosion-control measures in the approved plan. Include the county's security calculation and the legal name of the party responsible for maintaining those measures.

Snohomish County's erosion-control security documents address both installing controls and maintaining them. They also address corrective work where a project threatens public or private drainage facilities.

Keep security active through the required work

Use the county's required amount and security period in the application. A construction schedule alone does not determine when the county will release security.

The county's assignment-of-funds document describes notice and an opportunity for corrective work when performance is unsatisfactory. That is an alternative to a surety bond, so check the accepted bond form for the procedures that apply to your security. Keep inspection correspondence and repair records with the permit file.

Purchase and submit the performance bond

Select Purchase Now to open Propeller's application in a new tab. Supply the Snohomish County project request and required erosion-control bond wording. Starting the application does not mean a bond has been issued or accepted.

Check the issued applicant, county name, amount and project reference before submitting the bond to Planning and Development Services. Complete the separate permit and inspection steps for the site.

Questions about this bond

Does this cover general construction performance?

Its focus is the erosion-control obligation. Use a separate contract performance bond when a construction contract requires one.

Who sets the amount?

Use the security amount required for the county project. Have its calculation or written request ready so the application identifies the correct site and obligation.

Is an assignment of funds the same document?

No. The county publishes an assignment-of-funds alternative. A surety bond and pledged bank funds are different security instruments.

When can the security be released?

Follow the county's inspection and release instructions. Keep required controls maintained until the county releases the obligation.
