When you develop land in the City of Acworth, the city can require a performance bond guaranteeing the required public improvements — roads, drainage, water, sewer, sidewalks — are completed to city standards before they are accepted. We issue it at a flat 3% — enter the amount Acworth set and the premium updates.

Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure the City of Acworth set and the premium updates.
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.
Submit the application with the amount the city set. Standard amounts issue right after payment; larger development bonds may get a quick underwriter review.
