What it is and who needs it.
What the tree protection bond actually covers
Douglas County regulates tree conservation, buffers, and landscaping for development under Article 8 of its Development Code (Landscaping, Buffers and Tree Conservation). When a project's required trees or landscaping cannot be completed up front, or must be warranted after planting, the county takes a surety bond to guarantee the work.
The bond stands behind the installation and survival of the required trees and landscaping. Typical county practice is a maintenance bond covering a share of the improvement cost, or a performance bond covering uncompleted work — the exact figure is whatever Douglas County Development Services sets for your project.
If the developer fails to install or maintain the required plantings, the county can recover against the bond and use the proceeds to complete the work. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the county's amount at a flat 3% with no credit check.
