What it is and who needs it.
What the Newton County license & permit bond covers
Newton County conditions certain licenses and permits — contractor work, right-of-way activity, and other regulated trades — on a surety bond filed with the county. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the county ordinance and the terms of the license or permit it backs.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Newton County (the obligee). If a license or permit holder violates the county rules and the county or a member of the public is harmed, they can recover against the bond up to its penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. License and permit holders who follow the county rules treat the bond as a formality. We issue the amount the county set, priced at 0.5% of the bond amount with a $100 minimum; no credit check up to $100,000, and most applications approve instantly.

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.
How to file it
File with Newton County. Submit the executed bond with your license or permit application to the Newton County licensing office. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
