What it is and who needs it.
What the maintenance bond actually guarantees
When a developer completes subdivision improvements in Gwinnett County — streets, drainage, water, sewer — the County requires a maintenance performance bond before it accepts the work. It is a warranty guarantee: it backs your obligation to repair defects in the completed improvements during the maintenance period named in your development agreement.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Gwinnett County (the obligee). If the improvements develop defects within the maintenance 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 treat the maintenance bond as a closeout 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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
