What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Gwinnett County conditions a contractor permit on a $25,000 building code compliance bond. It is a code-compliance guarantee: it backs your obligation to perform permitted construction in accordance with the Gwinnett County building code and the conditions of your permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Gwinnett County (the obligee). If your work violates the building code and the County is harmed — or has to correct deficient work — it can recover against the bond up to the $25,000 limit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
