What it is and who needs it.
What the maintenance bond actually guarantees
When a developer completes site improvements in unincorporated Fulton County — roads, drainage, utilities, or other infrastructure tied to a development approval — the Department of Planning & Community Services requires a maintenance bond. It is a warranty guarantee: it backs your obligation to repair defects in the completed work during the maintenance / warranty period.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Fulton County (the obligee). If the improvements develop defects within the warranty period and you don't repair them, the County can recover against the bond to fund the repairs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Developers who build to spec and respond to punch-list items treat the maintenance bond as a closeout formality, not a risk.
