When you complete public improvements in Genesee County, Michigan, the County requires a maintenance and guarantee bond warranting your work for a set period after it is accepted. The County sets the amount; pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount the County set, with a $100 minimum — your exact price is calculated instantly at the application. The application collects no credit information.
















No underwriting queue for the standard maintenance bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the County. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the County required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit fields in the application and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. If a soft credit check ever runs, it never affects your score; larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed maintenance and guarantee bond to the Genesee County department overseeing your project. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
A maintenance and guarantee bond is a warranty on work you have already finished. When Genesee County accepts a public improvement — a road, a drainage structure, a utility extension — it requires this bond so that if the work fails or develops defects during the guarantee period, the County can have it repaired at no cost to taxpayers.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and Genesee County (the obligee). If your completed work fails to hold up through the guarantee period and you do not correct it, the County can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to the County’s specifications treat the bond as a closeout formality, not a risk.
Submit the application with the bond amount Genesee County set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
