What it is and who needs it.
What the timber cutting bond actually covers
A timber cutting site plan bond is a plan-compliance and restoration guarantee to the Town of Killingworth. Commercial logging can erode soil, foul wetlands, and chew up town roads, so Killingworth conditions an approved timber cutting site plan on a surety bond standing behind the plan's restoration and erosion-control measures.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Killingworth (the obligee). If you deviate from the approved cutting plan, skip erosion controls, or leave roads or the site damaged, the Town can recover against the bond.
Because the figure is set by the Town rather than a single statewide statute — tied to the approved plan and acreage — you enter whatever amount Killingworth names and we price the bond at 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum.

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.
