Who Needs a Subdivision Tax Bond? 

In Orange County, all subdividers must file a surety bond as financial security to the County. Once you pay all property taxes and assessments, the Treasurer-Tax Collector will release you from the bond requirement.

Your bond amount will depend on your subdivision’s estimated future tax bill, plus any current and delinquent taxes. Check with the Treasurer-Tax Collector to verify your amount. 

Alternatively, you can file a letter of credit or cash collateral. However, a surety bond is typically the most affordable and efficient option.

How Does an Orange County Subdivision Tax Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, a subdivision tax bond creates a legal contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the subdivider filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Orange County Subdivision Code. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. Your bond must remain active until you pay all required taxes to your local county. Once you fulfill your obligation, you will be released from the bond requirement.
