What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A tree-cutting / stump-grinding bond is a public-and-property-protection guarantee. The City of Enterprise wants a financial backstop that a tree service will follow the city's ordinances, restore disturbed rights-of-way, and not leave the public or neighboring property holding the cost of careless work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Enterprise (the obligee). If the work violates the city's tree or right-of-way rules and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Tree services that work clean and follow the ordinance treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
