What it is and who needs it.
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 from $125, with a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
