What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Bemidji tree service bond is a compliance guarantee to the City. It promises that when you trim, remove, or treat trees in Bemidji — especially in the right-of-way or on public land — you'll follow the city's tree ordinance and won't leave damage or hazards behind.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bemidji (the obligee). If your work violates the city's rules or damages public property, the City can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your tree service license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $1,000 filing continuous.
