About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the tree service bond guarantees

The City of Bemidji licenses tree service and forestry contractors — the crews who trim, remove, and treat trees on public and private property within the City — and conditions that license on a fixed $1,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance and public-property guarantee: it stands behind your work following the City’s tree and forestry rules and not damaging City trees or right-of-way.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bemidji (the obligee). If a tree service violates the City’s forestry ordinance or damages public property or trees, the City can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Tree services that follow the City’s rules treat the $1,000 bond as a routine license formality.
