What it is and who needs it.
What the Bibb County development bond covers
Macon-Bibb County conditions a land-disturbance permit and final plat approval on a guarantee that the developer will complete the public improvements to County standard. This bond rolls two of those guarantees together: erosion and sedimentation control and road improvements.
On the erosion side, the bond backs the installation and maintenance of your control measures under Georgia’s Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act. On the road side, it guarantees that streets, curb, gutter, and drainage tied to the subdivision are built and accepted by the County before the bond is released.
It is not insurance for you — if Macon-Bibb County has to complete or repair the work and draws on the bond, you repay the surety. Developers who build to plan and pass County inspection treat it as a release-on-completion 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.
How to file it
File with Macon-Bibb County. Submit the executed bond to the Macon-Bibb County Engineering / Land Development office with your permit or plat. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
