What this form is
This bond binds the principal and surety to the City of Pooler and provides financial assurance for required sidewalk construction. The form describes the project, location, permit number, and bond amount, and sets out the surety’s obligations if the principal defaults. The city ordinance says a bond or escrow must be provided by the developer when a final plat is submitted; sidewalks for undeveloped lots are due within 18 months after the subdivision plat is recorded.
Who needs it
A developer submitting a subdivision final plat to Pooler who offers a surety bond rather than an escrow account for required sidewalk improvements needs this form.
Why it needs a notary
The form has notary signature and commission-expiration blocks for the principal, surety, and, alternatively, the surety’s agent, who sign before a notary.
