What it is and who needs it.
What the landscaping license bond covers
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 no credit check up to $100,000.

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
File with the City of Alpharetta. Submit the executed bond with your landscaping license or right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
