Savannah, GA — Detective Or Alarm Company Bond
Savannah’s published Code specifies a $1,000 company bond to the City for its detective, security-service and alarm-business permitting. The City can call it to enforce the chapter. Use The Southern Agency’s detective/alarm-company option with the actual City request; it is not a customer’s alarm registration or a substitute for State professional licensing.

What this bond does
Section 6-2685 calls for the bond to be filed with the Clerk of Council before the covered business permit is issued. It names the City and an authorized Georgia surety and requires the security to stay in force. Match the legal company and the actual detective or alarm activity in the City’s licensing file.
- Who needs it
- The business seeking the relevant Savannah company permit. The Code distinguishes investigative work from alarm installation and from the broader alarm business of planning, servicing, maintaining, repairing or monitoring systems. Describe the work actually performed instead of substituting a general locksmith or individual-employee label.
- Who it protects
- The published condition allows the City to call the $1,000 bond to enforce the chapter. That is City enforcement security, not a verified direct customer reimbursement or equipment warranty. No separate customer claim route, automatic payment or broad professional-liability coverage is established by that language.

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.

Questions about this bond
Is this for my home or business alarm’s registration?
No. This listing concerns the company’s City enforcement security. Article GG separately addresses alarm-user registration and company reporting; purchasing the surety document does not register an alarm location.
Does the $1,000 filing replace a State detective or low-voltage credential?
No. The published City provisions call for the relevant State licensing proof as well. Match the actual detective or alarm work and the company file rather than treating this City bond as professional authorization.
Who may call the bond under the published City condition?
The Code says the bond is taken in the City’s name and may be called by the City to enforce the chapter. That language does not establish a separate direct customer warranty or automatic reimbursement process.
