Green Bay tree-trimming bonds.
$100. Five minutes.
The City of Green Bay requires a $1,000 bond from tree and brush trimming contractors who work on or near public trees and rights-of-way. Ours is $100 flat — the price our carrier's rate book sets for this bond, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application is five minutes; most applications approve instantly, and any credit check that runs is a soft pull that won't affect your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Green Bay registers tree and brush trimming contractors who work on or near public trees, terraces, and rights-of-way, and conditions that registration on a $1,000 bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee that you'll follow the City's forestry and right-of-way rules and not damage public property.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Green Bay (the obligee). If your work damages a public tree, terrace, or street, or violates the City's rules, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the forestry rules treat the bond as a registration formality.
