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.

Who Must Obtain the Bond

Any person or business entity that performs tree or brush trimming services for hire within the Green Bay city limits is required to hold a valid Tree and Brush Trimmer License. This applies to work performed on private property involving the cutting, trimming, pruning, or grinding of trees, branches, brush, stumps, or roots.

Contractors must secure the license annually. The City of Green Bay requires proof of the $1,000 bond as part of the submission process to ensure applicants are prepared to meet local regulatory obligations before beginning operations in the area.

Understanding the Bond Requirement

The Green Bay Tree and Brush Trimming Contractor Bond is established as a $1,000 instrument. This amount is fixed by city requirements for those seeking to obtain or renew their annual professional license. It is a distinct document necessary for the completion of the City Clerk's application process.

Contractors should note that the license itself expires annually on December 31. To prevent service interruptions, the city advises applicants to initiate the renewal process at least 30 days prior to the expiration date. The bond is a primary component of the documentation submitted to the City Clerk's office.

Application and Filing Process

To satisfy the city's licensing conditions, you must complete the official Tree and Brush Trimmer Application and include the $1,000 bond. Applications may be submitted in person or by mail to the City Clerk’s Office located at 100 N. Jefferson St., Room 106, Green Bay, WI 54301.

Once submitted, the Department of Public Works reviews the application and makes a recommendation for approval to the Council. If an application is not approved, the Clerk’s office will notify the applicant regarding the appeals process available through the Common Council.
