Security bonds

The purpose of the bond is to ensure satisfactory completion and/or reinstatement of any services/infrastructure currently in the charge of Dublin City Council, including roads, open spaces, car parking spaces, public lighting, sewers and drains, irrespective of the development being taken in charge.

When a development has been completed, written confirmation should be submitted by the developer along with an Architect's Certificate of Completion.

Once the completed development has been inspected and approved by the Dublin City Council Service Divisions (Public Lighting, Drainage Services, Roads & Traffic, Parks & Landscapes Services) the bond will be returned. However if the development is unsatisfactory and the developer fails to rectify the problems identified, all or part of the bond may be used by the Council to complete the work.

The bond can be in the form of a cash lodgement, cheque or bank draft, EFT or other security (e.g. a bank or insurance company bond).
