JACKSON COUNTY PERMITTING & CODE ENFORCEMENT

Request for Surety Bond to Disturb Land

*Only Required for Five or More Acres of Land Disturbance*

Sylva Office: 401 Grindstaff Cove Rd, Suite 145, Phone: 828-586-7560 / Fax: 828-586-7563

Cashiers Office: 357 Frank Allen Road, Phone: 828-745-6850 / Fax: 828-745-6867

Per the requirements of the Jackson County Unified Development Ordinance (Section 5.3.11), Jackson County

hereby asks for the issuance if a surety bond to be held by the County for the following project:

Project Name: _________________________________________________________________________

Property Identification Number: ___________________________________________________________

Land Owner(s) of Record: ________________________________________________________________

Financially Responsible Person: ____________________________________________________________

Project or Site Location:__________________________________________________________________

The reason for this bond request is as follows: As per Section 5.3.11 (3) of the ordinance, “Forfeited surety

shall be used to establish erosion control structures or ground cover in accordance with an approved sediment

control plan.”

Conditions of default for the right of redemption: As per Section 5.3.11 (1) of the ordinance, “Land-

disturbing activities not in compliance with this ordinance or an approved sediment control plan for 90 working

days after notice of violation is received through registered mail or certified mail or other means detailing specific

items of violation, shall be subject to forfeiture of all applicable surety.”

Please be advised that, as per the ordinance, “Such surety shall be valid until the land-disturbing activity

is completed in accordance with the approved sediment control plan and released by the

Administrator…” As a matter of standard operating procedure in Jackson County’s Erosion Control Program, it

has been determined by the Commissioners that the land-disturbing permit for any site required to have a surety

bond will only be in effect for the same amount of time that the bond is in force. If the bond lapses before the

County closes out the site, the land-disturbing permit will be revoked immediately.

If the bond applicant (which will likely be the person financially responsible for the project or the land owner of

record) allows the bond to prematurely expire (before the permitted area is closed out by the County), applicable

violations on the area being disturbed will be cited and a new application for a permit to disturb land will be called

for by the County. Please be advised this means civil penalties may be assessed, and all application fees will again

have to be paid at current applicable rates.

An application to disturb ________________acres of land in Jackson County has been

submitted by ______________________________________. At the rate of $ ___________

per acre disturbed, the total surety bond amount requested will now be stated as

$ ___________. The original bond will be held by “Jackson County”, and should be sent to the

above stated address.
