When a project’s required landscaping isn’t fully established yet, the City of Canton lets you finish out the development by bonding the planting — a landscape establishment bond guaranteeing the trees and plants survive their establishment period. Pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.
















No underwriting queue for the standard landscape bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the City. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the City required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit section in the application and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond to the City of Canton’s planning / community development office with your final inspection or certificate of occupancy. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Canton set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the City.
