What it is and who needs it.
What the Wayzata tree removal bond guarantees
The City of Wayzata licenses tree removal and treatment contractors under City Code Chapter 519, and conditions the license on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the City. The requirement exists because tree work in a residential city — felling, stump grinding, chemical treatment — runs a real risk of property damage if it is not done to standard.
The bond is a compliance guarantee running to the City of Wayzata: it stands behind your obligation to follow the tree removal and treatment ordinance and to make good on damage a licensed job causes to City property or a resident's property. If a licensee fails to comply, the City (or a harmed party the ordinance protects) can bring a claim against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wayzata (the obligee). It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and send renewal notices ahead of expiration.
