Henry County erosion bonds.
Flat 3%. Soft pull.
Henry County requires an erosion and sediment control bond as a condition of a land-disturbance permit — a guarantee that you install, maintain, and remove erosion controls so soil and silt don’t leave your site. The county’s Development Plan Review / Public Works sets the amount; we issue the bond at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the erosion control bond covers
When you disturb land in Henry County — grading, clearing, or developing a site — the county requires erosion and sediment controls (silt fence, basins, inlet protection, stabilization) under its land-development ordinance, consistent with Georgia’s Erosion and Sedimentation Act. The bond is a performance guarantee that those controls go in, stay maintained, and come out properly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Henry County (the obligee), through its development plan review and public works. If controls fail or aren’t maintained and the county has to step in, it can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the county makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Builders who keep their BMPs in good order treat the bond as a permit formality.
