The City of Alpharetta conditions a landscaping license — and work that touches the public right-of-way — on a surety bond. It guarantees you follow the city’s standards and restore any public property you disturb. Pricing starts from $100, and most applicants qualify at or near that minimum — your exact price appears at the 60-second application.
















No underwriting queue for a city landscaping bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with Alpharetta. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the city set, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
Most applications approve instantly with no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. If a check runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score.
Submit the executed bond with your landscaping license or right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
The City of Alpharetta licenses contractors who perform landscaping work, and conditions work in or near the public right-of-way on a surety bond. The bond protects the city if a landscaper damages public property — sidewalks, curbs, streets, irrigation, or signage — and does not restore it.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Alpharetta (the obligee). If you violate the city’s landscaping standards or leave public property damaged, the city can recover against the bond, up to the bond amount.
The bond is not insurance for you — if the city is paid on a claim, you repay the surety. Landscapers who follow city standards and restore what they disturb treat the bond as a license formality. Whatever amount the city sets, pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Alpharetta set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
