What is this bond?

The City of Los Angeles Import/Export Haul Bond is a financial guarantee required for certain hauling operations involving earth materials within city limits. It ensures that individuals or companies transporting dirt, soil, or debris comply with municipal grading and hauling regulations. The bond financially protects the city by guaranteeing funds are available to repair damages to public streets or infrastructure caused during these hauling activities.

Who needs it?

Contractors, developers, and property owners planning to excavate, transport, or fill large quantities of earth materials within Los Angeles typically need this bond. It is generally required for those operating fleets of trucks to move dirt to or from construction and grading sites. You should verify your specific project requirements with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety before beginning any hauling operations.

Why is it required?

The City of Los Angeles requires this bond as a protective measure to ensure safe and responsible hauling practices that do not permanently damage public roadways. It guarantees that if hauling operations cause infrastructure damage, leave hazardous debris, or violate approved hauling routes, funds are available for municipal cleanup and repairs. This shifts the financial burden of potential public property damage from local taxpayers to the responsible hauling party.
