What this bond does
Division I, Section E of the city's published Ordinance 2020-002 provides for security accompanying the Control Plan. It is intended to assure correction when work is incomplete or does not follow permitted plans and specifications. The city determines which acceptable security instrument must be furnished.
- Who needs it
- The landowner or authorized agent arranging the land-disturbing permit, with the legal principal specified in the city's bond request.
- Who it protects
- Security is furnished to the City of Trussville for the defined land-disturbance obligation. It is not a general excavation license or liability policy, and it does not replace other required permits.

Questions about this bond
Can I choose a bond instead of another security without checking?
The ordinance lists a letter of credit, surety bond or cash bond and gives the city the right to determine which type is furnished. Confirm that a surety bond is the required instrument for your request before applying.
Does this bond provide permission to start clearing?
No. The ordinance separates plan approval and the city's permit from security. It says land-disturbing activity may not start before the permit is issued, and other required permits or licenses remain separate.
