Project Bonds Process
This is the process used to secure, request a reduction of, or request a release of a bond.
To obtain a bond:
1.
All projects must be submitted to Mecklenburg County Land Development for review before a
bond can be posted. To submit a plat or project, the County’s Electronic Plan Management
(EPM) program must be used. http://epm.mecklenburgcountync.gov/Login.aspx
Checklists are available providing the information required from you to submit a plat or project.
Please go to:

On the left side, click on “Forms.”
Look for “Site Plan Review Checklist” and “Plat Submittal and Review Checklist.”

by filling out the required form.
