About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Dothan licenses tree cutting and stump grinding contractors who work inside the city, and conditions the license on a $1,000 surety bond filed with the city. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: tree work can damage property, rights-of-way, and utilities, and the bond backs your compliance with the city's ordinances.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dothan (the obligee). If your work violates the city's ordinances or damages public property and a loss results, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who work cleanly and follow the rules treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep it continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
