About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A landscape contractor registration bond is a compliance guarantee to the municipality. The City of Avon Lake wants assurance that a registered landscape contractor will work to the City’s ordinances and permit conditions, and will repair any damage to public property — tree lawns, right-of-way, and city infrastructure.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Avon Lake (the obligee). If your work damages public property or violates the City's requirements and the City or a resident is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the $5,000 bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the City's rules and restore disturbed property treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Avon Lake landscape contractor bond? +
The premium is $275 — our flat minimum. The bond amount is fixed at $5,000 by the City, and 3% of $5,000 is only $150, which falls below our $275 minimum, so $275 is the price for every contractor.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this one don't need one.
