What this form is
This bond binds the contractor and surety to protect the City of Pooler against covered defects in project improvements and sets out repair, cost, and security obligations. The form says the developer must provide a maintenance bond or other acceptable security upon completion of construction and before a certificate of occupancy is issued for a project with previously posted performance security. The city’s ordinance describes the required security amount and release conditions.
Who needs it
A developer completing a project with previously posted performance security may need to provide this bond to the City of Pooler before a certificate of occupancy is issued.
Why it needs a notary
The form has notary signature and commission-expiration blocks, but no separate jurat or acknowledgment wording; the contractor, surety, or agent signs before a commissioned online notary.
