What this bond does

Provide the security identified for the county's defined specialty-contractor file, rather than treating every subcontractor as a specialty applicant.

Who needs it
Contractors whose Columbia County, Georgia instructions place their work in the listed specialty category.
Who it protects
Use the accepted specialty instrument for its secured obligations and beneficiary. It is distinct from workers' compensation evidence and from a project's payment or performance security.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Use the county's definition, not a business description

The four activities named in the specialty row are pool installation, landscaping, yard sprinkler installation and roofing. A company calling itself a specialist does not by itself place all of its work in that row.

Electrical, plumbing and mechanical work appears under a separate named-trade heading with a different surety figure. Have Development Services classify mixed work rather than swapping instruments by similar title.

Keep the county file and provider application distinct

The specialty row lists workers' compensation separately. The sheet's general/residential licensing checklist should not be copied onto specialty applicants as if every row were identical.

Have the county's accepted instrument, legal names, $5,000 request and actual dates ready. Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. After issuance, check execution and follow the county's delivery instructions. The sheet calls for continuation/renewal certificates yearly; the Propeller card does not publish a bond term, and that certificate instruction is not a new one-year option.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Identify which listed specialty activity the county has assigned to your file.
  2. Have the current county request and accepted instrument.
  3. Prepare the legal applicant and recipient wording.
  4. Match the requested $5,000 security and actual effective period.
  5. Keep compensation evidence, issuance and county delivery separate.

Questions about this bond

Does specialty mean any subcontractor?

Not on the posted sheet. It names pool installation, landscaping, yard sprinkler installation and roofing. Ask the county how your actual work is classified.

Can I use the electrical/plumbing/mechanical bond instead?

Those trades have a separate row and amount. A similar contractor label is not proof that their instrument satisfies a specialty-file request.

Does purchase complete my county registration?

No. Provider application and issuance are separate from assembling the county's other evidence and delivering an acceptable executed instrument.
