Chamblee, Georgia Surety Bonds

According to the Chamblee Planning and Development Department, an Erosion Control Bond must be obtained by either the property owner or land developer in question as a prerequisite for the issuance of a Land Disturbance Permit. 

Once the development project is in its final stages of construction, the permit holder may also be required to file a Street, Sidewalk, Landscape, and Streetscape Performance/Maintenance Bond with the Department, as well as a Stormwater Performance/Maintenance Bond in order to receive a Certificate of Occupancy. 

Should the permit holder fail to comply with local regulations, cause damages to city property, or commit a breach of contract, the applicable bond may act as a means of restitution to the City of Chamblee, Georgia for any financial losses incurred. 

For additional information on the above surety bonds provided by Jet, read further below.

City of Chamblee Surety Bond Details

Soil Erosion Bond - Required as a prerequisite for the issuance of a Land Disturbance Permit. The bond limit must be equal to $3,000 per acre that falls within the land-disturbing activity. If the property owner or developer violates a permit requirement such as failing to stabilize the impacted land (one season of vegetation growth must have occurred), the Planning and Development Department may file a bond claim.

The following surety bonds are required by the Planning and Development Department prior to the closeout of the development project and issuance of an approved Certificate of Occupancy. 

Street, Sidewalk, Landscape, and Streetscape Performance Bond - This surety bond is only required if some plats of the development site are incomplete at the time of applying for a Certificate of Occupancy. The bond limit must be equal to 150% of the estimated cost to complete any unfinished roads, sidewalks, and/or landscaping. Failure to pass a final inspection by the Department or no effort to resolve a notice for improvements may result in a bond claim.

Street, Sidewalk, Landscape, and Streetscape Maintenance Bond - The bond is required to remain on file with the Department for a period of 24 months following the execution of the development project. The bond limit is to be equal to 60% of the estimated cost of replacing all roads, sidewalks, and landscaping installed by the permit holder. Failure to complete any necessary repairs or requested maintenance work in such areas can lead to the Department filing a claim against the surety bond. 

Stormwater Performance and Maintenance Bond - This bond is required of the property owner or developer for a period of 24 months and must be equal to $5 per cubic foot of stormwater storage provided within the development. Should the permit holder commit a breach of contract or fail to complete necessary repairs, the Department can choose to file a claim against the bond. 

Details on permit conditions and land development regulations can be found in the City’s Unified Development Code.
