Atlanta maintenance & sewer bonds.
From $100.
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; the premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the maintenance & sewer bond covers
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.
