Pre sales
If the developer wants to be able to sell the product before completion the AG requires a performance bond be in place. Depending on the type of development, it can vary for example in commercial applications many times a reclamation bond is all that is required, and a performance bond is required for what ever effects the towns well being. In a subdivision, the AG requires one, but the town also requires one so that the lot owner can pull a building permit before all the infrastructure is complete, it is a way of protecting the lot buyer. It should also be said that it doesn't have to be a bond it can be a LOC or cash.
