APPLY FOR YOUR BOND

With Jet, your bond will always cost just a small fraction of your required limit. Rates can start as low as $10 a month or $100 a year, for approved applicants. 

If you are applying for a bond that has a variable limit, it is likely that your application will include a soft credit check and an evaluation of financial statements. The chart below shows rates that a preferred-credit applicant would be approved for at different limits.

Right of Way Performance and Completion Bond

Contractors engaging in construction or excavation work in the Atlanta right-of-way will need a $500,000 surety bond. The bond can be called upon if the contractor fails to complete the work and restore the right-of-way to the pre-construction condition. (Atlanta Ordinances, Section 138-65)

Contractor's License/Permit Bond

This bond must be held by contractors that have a contract that is more than $20,000. The bond shall have a limit of 100% of the cost of construction. It will be conditioned on the completion of the contract. (Atlanta Ordinances, Section 2-1270)

Cable Communications Franchise Bond

A cable communications franchisee will need to file a $250,000 performance bond conditioned that the necessary equipment scheduled to be installed that year will be completed. Failure to complete installation can result in a bond claim. (Atlanta Ordinances, Section 34-7)

$5,000 Boxing Promoter Bond

Any person who promotes boxing or wrestling matches needs to file a $5,000 surety bond as a financial guarantee that the promoter will complete the contract and pay out any damages caused by the promotion or completion of said match; failure to do so would lead to a bond claim. (Atlanta Ordinances, Section 14-39)

$5,000 Street Patrol Agent Bond

A street patrol agent must file a $5,000 surety bond as protection against injury or damages from illegal actions. (Atlanta Ordinances, Section 30-1360)
