What it is and who needs it.
What the Hoover tree conservation bond guarantees
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 — no credit check up to $100,000, and your exact price appears at the application.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
