A performance bond in Maryland is a financial guarantee required for certain oversize/overweight projects (gross weight over 150,000lbs, width/height over 16 feet, or length over 120 feet). It ensures the contractor fulfills the permit’s terms and covers completion or damages if obligations are not met. The typical cost is around $10,000 USD, depending on the project.
