Cobb County requires a landscape maintenance bond guaranteeing that the landscaping installed on a development is maintained and kept alive through the County’s required maintenance period. The County sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
















No broker phone tag for the Cobb County landscape bond — enter your amount, consent to a soft pull, and file with the County. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount Cobb County required, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
The soft pull never touches your score. Most of these clear quickly; larger amounts may get a short underwriter review within 48 hours.
Submit the executed bond to the Cobb County Community Development office with your final plan approval or certificate of occupancy. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure Cobb County set and the premium updates.
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 we issue it at a flat 3%.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your executed bond comes back ready to file with Cobb County.
