What the tree protection bond actually covers
The City of Chesterfield protects its tree canopy through its landscaping and tree-preservation requirements. When you develop or disturb land, the City can require a tree protection bond so there is a financial guarantee that protected trees survive the work — and that any required replacement plantings get installed and established.
The obligee is the City of Chesterfield (through its Planning / Public Works department). The amount is set by the City based on the value of the trees and landscaping in your approved plan, so you enter the figure on your permit.
If protected trees are destroyed or required plantings aren't installed, the City can recover against the bond to make it right. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the City's amount at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
