What this form is
The bond identifies the project, property owner, surety, bond amount, and maintenance period, and sets out responsibilities for addressing defects in public improvements. Pooler’s included ordinance says a two-year tree and landscape establishment bond or escrow must be provided to the zoning administrator after approval of the landscaping and before the certificate of occupancy is issued. The bond remains in force until released by the zoning administrator.
