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.

Connect the bond to your approved site plan

Your bond must explicitly reference the approved site plan for the development. Ensure you have the sealed, dated, and approved site plan document available, as these details identify the specific landscaping requirements and work timeline.

The obligation remains in force until the landscaping improvements are finished in accordance with the specifications in the Design Standards Manual Section 6-5(1D) and local code. Verify that your legal name and contact details match those on your planning permit precisely.

Understand the conditions of performance

The bond is a firm commitment to the county. It remains active until the county releases the obligation. You should expect that changes, extensions, or alterations to the original work plan do not affect the surety's liability under this bond.

If you do not complete the landscaping as agreed, the county has the authority to demand the full bond amount. Maintain thorough records of your landscaping completion progress, as the county only releases the obligation once they are satisfied the site work meets their established standards.
