What is this bond?

A City of Tustin Grading Permit Bond is a type of surety bond required for contractors and developers performing earthwork, excavation, or land clearing within the city. It guarantees that the grading project will be completed safely and in accordance with approved municipal plans. If the work causes damage or the site is abandoned, the bond provides financial protection to restore the area.

Who needs it?

Contractors, land developers, and property owners undertaking construction or earth-moving projects in Tustin typically need this bond. The local building or public works department usually requires it to be filed before they will issue the final grading permit.

Why is it required?

The City of Tustin requires this bond to protect public infrastructure, neighboring properties, and the local environment from improper grading practices. It ensures the permit holder follows necessary erosion control measures and adequately stabilizes the land. If the principal fails to fulfill these obligations, the city can claim against the bond to fund the site's remediation.
