About this bond

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Acworth land development performance bond?
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — priced by the amount, not a credit or underwriting tier. The amount itself is set by the City of Acworth, usually based on the engineer-estimated cost of the required improvements. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.
What does the bond guarantee?
That the required public improvements — roads, drainage, water, sewer, sidewalks — are completed to city standards. If you do not finish them, the city can call the bond and use the proceeds to complete the work.
Is there a credit check?
The application collects no credit information for most applicants. Larger development bonds may get a quick underwriter review, which can include a soft pull that never affects your score — pricing still starts from $100 either way.
What amount should I choose?
Use the figure the City of Acworth set, generally the engineer-estimated improvement cost (sometimes with a contingency). If it is not finalized, send us the engineer estimate and we will confirm.
What happens when the work is finished?
Once the city accepts the improvements, the performance bond is released or replaced by a shorter maintenance bond that warrants the work for a set period. We can issue that maintenance bond too.
