The City of Hoover requires a bond to guarantee that protected trees are preserved and replacement trees are planted on a development, per the city’s tree-conservation rules. The city sets the amount; we price it at 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — the application collects no credit information, and your exact price appears at the 60-second application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard Hoover tree conservation bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the city required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit fields in the application and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick soft-pull review that never affects your credit score.
Submit the executed bond to the City of Hoover with your tree-conservation or site plan. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Hoover’s tree-conservation rules protect significant trees on a development site and require replacement plantings when protected trees are removed. When the work can’t be completed or verified before occupancy, the City of Hoover accepts a bond guaranteeing the trees are preserved and replacements planted and established.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hoover (the obligee). The bond guarantees you meet the approved tree-conservation plan. If you don’t, the city can recover against the bond to complete the plantings.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. The amount is set by the City of Hoover from the value of the protected and replacement trees; we issue it priced at 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — the application collects no credit information, and your exact price appears at the 60-second application.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Hoover set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
