What it is and who needs it.
What the landscaping bond actually covers
When the City of Poquoson, Virginia approves a site plan or zoning case, it often conditions the permit on installing the landscaping shown on the plan — street trees, screening, buffers, and required plantings. Because that work usually comes last, the City lets you get your permit (or certificate of occupancy) now and post a landscaping bond guaranteeing the plantings go in.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Poquoson (the obligee). If the required landscaping is never installed, dies, or falls short of the approved plan, the City can recover against the bond to complete it — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Because the bond backs a specific plan, the City sets the amount — typically the estimated cost of the landscaping your plan requires. Enter that figure, and we price and issue the bond on review.

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
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
