What it is and who needs it.
What the Smyrna code compliance bond covers
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 $200 flat; no credit check, 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 $15,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The carrier issues this bond for a single two-year term; the term cannot be changed at checkout.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, October 8, in the year your term ends.
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

What sets the price
