What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A maintenance bond is a warranty guarantee. After the City of Atlanta accepts your public improvements, it wants assurance that defects in materials or workmanship appearing during the warranty period get fixed at your cost, not the city's.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Atlanta (the obligee). If a covered defect appears and you don't repair it, the city can claim against the bond.
The bond runs for the city's warranty period on the accepted work — commonly one to two years. We size it to whatever Atlanta requires and get it filed at acceptance.

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. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Atlanta's accepting department. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
