What Is a Subdivision Bond?

A Subdivision Bond—also known as an improvement bond, developer bond, or site improvement bond—is a type of surety bond required by municipalities and local agencies to guarantee that a developer or contractor will complete the required public improvements for a subdivision project. These improvements may include streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, drainage systems, lighting, and other infrastructure essential to the community’s development.

When a developer receives approval to build on a parcel of land, local government agencies require assurance that the agreed-upon public improvements will be completed according to plan and within a set timeframe. The Subdivision Bond ensures that if the developer fails to complete the work, the city or county can file a claim and use the bond to cover the costs of finishing the improvements.

Why Are Subdivision Bonds Required?

Subdivision Bonds protect cities, counties, and taxpayers from financial loss due to unfinished or substandard infrastructure. Since public funds are often not used upfront for these projects, the bond acts as a financial guarantee that the improvements will be completed to municipal standards. Without a Subdivision Bond, a local government could be left with unfinished roads, drainage systems, or utilities—resulting in safety hazards and costly repairs for the community.

Who Needs a Subdivision Bond?

Subdivision Bonds are typically required for:

• Land developers
• General contractors
• Real estate investors
• Homebuilders and construction companies
• Engineering and development firms

If your project involves subdividing land for residential or commercial development and includes public infrastructure improvements, the local permitting authority will likely require you to post a Subdivision Bond before construction begins or final plat approval is issued.

Types of Improvements Covered by Subdivision Bonds

Subdivision Bonds typically cover a wide range of public improvements, such as:

• Road construction and paving
• Curbs, gutters, and sidewalks
• Water and sewer lines
• Stormwater drainage systems
• Streetlights and signage
• Landscaping and environmental remediation

The scope of bonded work will be outlined in the development agreement between the contractor/developer and the local governing agency. Blaikie Group ensures that your Subdivision Bond meets all specifications required by your municipality or public works department.

How Much Does a Subdivision Bond Cost?

The cost of a Subdivision Bond is based on the total bond amount required by the city or county, which is typically equal to 100% or 120% of the estimated cost of the improvements. Your premium—the amount you pay for the bond—is usually a small percentage of the bond amount, typically ranging from 1% to 3%, depending on factors such as:

• Your credit score
• Business and personal financials
• Project size and complexity
• Bonding history and experience

Blaikie Group works with a wide network of top-rated sureties to ensure you receive the lowest available rate, even if you’re a first-time developer or have less-than-perfect credit.
