What Is An Excavation Bond?

An excavation bond is a type of permit surety bond typically required by a government agency in connection with earth moving activities.  As part of a permit application, cities or local government agencies in California may require an excavation bond when the amount of earth being excavated exceeds a certain threshold, which will vary between municipalities.  The bond ensures that that applicant will follow all applicable laws and regulations, as well as any conditions stipulated in the permit.
