About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A maintenance bond is a warranty guarantee. After the Fulton County Department of Public Works accepts your infrastructure, it wants assurance that any defects in materials or workmanship showing up during the warranty period get fixed at your cost, not the county's.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Fulton County Department of Public Works (the obligee). If a covered defect appears and you don't repair it, the county can claim against the bond.

The bond runs for the county's warranty period on the accepted work — commonly one to two years. We size it to whatever Public Works requires and get it filed at acceptance.
