What it is and who needs it.
What the Bartow County erosion bond covers
Georgia’s Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act lets local governments serve as the issuing authority for land-disturbing activity permits. Bartow County administers that program, and conditions a grading or development permit on a bond standing behind your erosion-and-sedimentation-control plan.
The bond is a performance guarantee to the County: it backs the installation and maintenance of your silt fences, sediment basins, inlet protection, and stabilization measures for the duration of the disturbance. If the measures fail or are abandoned, the County can draw on the bond to bring the site into compliance.
It is not insurance for you — if the County recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. Developers who keep their BMPs maintained and pass final stabilization treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the County-set amount and your exact price appears at application, from $100.

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.
