About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Cobb County landscape bond covers

Cobb County conditions development approvals on required landscaping — buffers, street trees, and plantings under its landscape and tree-protection ordinances. Once that landscaping is installed, the County requires a maintenance bond guaranteeing it’s kept alive and maintained through a defined maintenance period.

The bond is a performance guarantee to the County: it backs the survival, replacement, and upkeep of the required plant material for the maintenance term. If plants die or maintenance lapses, the County can draw on the bond to restore the landscaping to the approved plan.

It is not insurance for you — if Cobb County recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. Developers whose landscaping is maintained and passes the County’s final inspection get the bond released. Enter the County-set amount and your exact price appears at application, from $100.
