The City of Atlanta requires a maintenance and sewer bond on sanitary-sewer and site-development work — a warranty that you’ll fix defects in the public infrastructure you build or tie into. The city’s Department of Watershed Management and site-development review set the amount; we issue the bond at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
















Enter your amount, consent to a soft pull, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing — no broker phone tag:
Business details, the bond amount the city set, and the effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The soft pull never affects your score.

When you build or tie into sanitary sewer and public site improvements in the City of Atlanta, the city wants a guarantee that the work holds up after it is accepted. A maintenance bond covers defects in materials and workmanship for a set warranty period; the sewer portion specifically backs the sanitary-sewer infrastructure you install or connect.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Atlanta (the obligee), through its Department of Watershed Management and site-development review. If a defect appears during the maintenance period and you don’t repair it, the city can recover against the bond to fix it.
It is not insurance for you — if the city makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to spec and stand behind their work treat the bond as a closeout formality.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
