Permit Bond Calculator FAQ

How much does a permit bond cost?

Permit bonds typically cost between 1% and 5% of the required bond amount. For example, a $25,000 permit bond costs $250 to $1,250 per year. Most permit bonds have a minimum premium of $100. Your exact rate depends on your credit score, the bond amount, and the type of permit required by your municipality.

What is a permit bond and when is one required?

A permit bond is a type of surety bond required by a local government or municipality before issuing a permit for construction, demolition, grading, or other work. The bond guarantees that the permit holder will comply with all applicable laws, codes, and regulations, and will restore public property to its original condition if damaged during the permitted work.

How long does it take to get a permit bond?

Most permit bonds can be issued within 24 to 48 hours. Many standard permit bonds under $50,000 can be approved and issued same-day with a simple credit check. Larger bond amounts or applicants with credit challenges may require additional underwriting, which can take 3-5 business days.
