Local tree removal, tree trimmer and forestry license bonds for 18 cities and counties are now available to apply for online.
Many cities and towns require a bond before a tree service can cut, trim or remove trees inside city limits. SuretyBondly now offers these local tree bonds online in eight more states, and you can apply for each one in minutes.
These join the tree bonds already on the site for Texas and California, including Conroe, Cleveland, Livingston and Groves in Texas and Roseville and Danville in California.
Tree work happens close to homes, power lines, sidewalks and streets. A city bond gives residents and the city a way to recover a loss if a licensed tree service breaks local rules, damages public property or leaves a job unsafe. The bond protects the public, not the tree service, and the business repays the surety for any claim it pays.
Search for "tree" or "arborist" in the bond search on any page, or add your city name to narrow it down. Then click Get This Bond and fill in a few details. The city sets the required amount, which is confirmed when your application is reviewed.
