What Is a Developer Surety Bond?

Developer surety bonds act as a financial guarantee to the municipality or regional government that your development obligations will be completed as agreed. These may include:

Common Claims Against Engineers Include:

Roads, curbs, sidewalks, streetlights

Stormwater and drainage systems

Underground water, gas, or sewer connections

Grading and landscaping

If obligations are not completed or are delayed, the municipality can claim on the bond to fund the work.

This allows you to meet municipal requirements without freezing large sums of working capital.

When Are Developer Bonds Required?

Developer surety is typically required during:

Subdivision approvals

Site plan control agreements

Early servicing or conditional permits

Servicing agreements with municipalities

Local governments (especially in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia) often require bonding before they’ll issue building permits, utility connections, or registration.
