What the bond actually guarantees
A City of Fargo tree removal license bond is a public-property guarantee. Removing and trimming trees — especially near boulevard trees and right-of-way — can damage city property and public trees, so Fargo wants a financial backstop that you'll work to the city's forestry rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fargo (the obligee). If your work damages city trees or property or violates the city's forestry rules, the City can recover against the bond up to its full amount.
The bond must stay active while you hold the license. Let it lapse and the City can pull your tree removal license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous.
