What it is and who needs it.
What the Canton landscape bond covers
Site-plan approvals in the City of Canton typically require landscaping — street trees, buffers, and plantings — as a condition of development. When the work is installed but hasn’t had time to take root, a landscape establishment bond lets you close out the project while guaranteeing the plants survive.
The bond is a performance guarantee to the City: it backs the survival and replacement of required landscaping through its establishment period (commonly one to two growing seasons). If plants die or were never installed to the approved plan, the City can draw on the bond to complete or replace them.
It is not insurance for you — if the City recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. Developers whose landscaping takes and passes the City’s final inspection get the bond released. Enter the City-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

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.
