The City of Smyrna requires a fixed $15,000 code compliance bond of contractors working in the city, filed with the Smyrna Building Division. It guarantees you build to the Smyrna construction codes and correct any code violations for a year after final inspection. At 3% that is $450 flat, with no credit check.
















City contractor bonds like this are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Fixed-amount city contractor bonds like this are among the bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Smyrna Building Division for your contractor registration or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$15,000 bond × 3% = $450, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Smyrna Building Division requires contractors and builders working in the city to post a fixed $15,000 code compliance bond. The bond guarantees that your company follows the City of Smyrna construction codes and corrects any code violation discovered on permitted work — now and for one year from the date of final inspection.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Smyrna (the obligee). If a contractor leaves permitted work out of code and does not fix it, the city can recover against the bond up to the $15,000 penal sum to bring the work into compliance.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. This city code compliance bond is in addition to any statewide Georgia contractor license requirement. Contractors who build to code and pass inspection treat it as a registration formality. We issue the fixed $15,000 bond at $450, with no credit check.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
