What is a Defect Bond?

The Defect bond is to provide the City Protection against any defects in workmanship, design and construction.

There are two (2) types of Defect Bonds:

• Utility
• Street & Drainage

A Site Plan with a water meter installed by a contractor will require a Utility Defect Bond.

A Site Plan will require a Streets & Drainage Defect Bond only when:

• >300 sq. yd. of pavement
• >5 public drainage structures
• >300‘ public storm drain facility

The Utility Defect Bond is required prior to scheduling the Final Utility Inspection (activation).

The Streets & Drainage Defect Bond is required prior to scheduling the Streets & Drainage Final Inspection.
