Why do I need this bond?
Anne Arundel County forestation surety bonds hold applicants to the highest standards of the law and ensure the prompt and faithful payment of all dues. This bond requires that the principal (developer) maintains all plants within the areas and completes reforestation, afforestation, or replanting in the areas being worked on. The principal must also notify the county within 30 days of the installation of plant materials so the accuracy of the installations can be verified.
If the principal fails to pay all taxes and fees associated with a reforestation project or does not properly install and maintain plants, the county can make a claim against the bond. If the claim is found to be valid, the surety will compensate the county for any damages. The principal is ultimately responsible for reimbursing the surety.
