What it is and who needs it.
What the performance bond actually guarantees
The City of Acworth conditions land-development and subdivision approval on the developer completing the required public improvements — streets, storm drainage, water and sewer lines, curbs, and sidewalks. A performance bond lets you record plats and start building before every improvement is finished and accepted.
The bond runs to the City of Acworth (the obligee) and guarantees the improvements are built to city standards. If the developer fails to complete them, the city can call the bond and use the proceeds to finish the work itself.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. The amount is set by the city, generally based on the engineer's estimate of the improvement cost (often with a contingency). When the work is accepted, the bond is released or replaced by a shorter maintenance bond.

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.
