Georgia Bid Bond
Georgia law requires a bid bond with bids on state public works construction contracts. The bond is at least five percent of the total contract amount, or the owner may accept a cashier's check, certified check or cash.
Georgia Performance & Payment Bond
Georgia's Little Miller Act requires performance and payment bonds on public works contracts, each for at least the total contract amount. House Bill 137 raised the threshold from $100,000 to $250,000 effective July 1, 2025.
Georgia Contractor License Bond
Georgia residential-basic and residential-light commercial contractors must show financial responsibility, and the State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors lets them do it with a $25,000 bond. General contractors are not required to post a bond.
Georgia Mechanic's Lien Discharge Bond
In Georgia, an owner or contractor can discharge a recorded lien by filing a bond approved by the clerk of superior court under O.C.G.A. § 44-14-364. The bond pays the lien holder what is found due in a lien action brought within 365 days of filing the claim.
Georgia Subdivision Bond
Georgia has no statewide subdivision bond amount. Cities and counties set it in their subdivision regulations. For example, the City of Marietta accepts a performance bond of at least 110% of the estimated cost of the improvements, and requires a 12-month maintenance bond of 10% of the improvement cost when the final plat is submitted.
Georgia Maintenance Bond
No Georgia statute sets a general maintenance bond for construction contracts; on public works, the owner's contract sets it. Cities and counties require maintenance bonds on subdivision improvements they will take over. For example, Marietta requires a 12-month maintenance bond of 10% of the improvement cost at final plat.
Georgia Right-of-Way Bond
The Georgia Department of Transportation requires a performance bond or letter of escrow for driveway and encroachment permits on state highways. The amount is based on the Department's estimated construction cost for the work, and blanket bonds are accepted. Cities and counties set their own rules for local streets.
Georgia Permit Bond
Georgia has no general statewide permit bond. Cities and counties set permit bonds. Under the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act, a local issuing authority may require a bond of up to $3,000 per acre before issuing a land-disturbing permit; Snellville, for example, requires one for sites disturbing 5 acres or more.
Georgia Supply Bond
Georgia law requires payment and performance bonds on state construction contracts over $100,000, but not on supply contracts. Under the Georgia Procurement Manual, a state entity may require bonds on non-construction contracts, and the solicitation states the bond and amount.
Georgia Stop Payment Notice Release Bond
Georgia does not use a stop payment notice procedure. Unpaid contractors and suppliers use mechanic's liens, and an owner or contractor can discharge a lien with a bond under O.C.G.A. § 44-14-364.
Georgia Notary Bond
Georgia does not require a bond for notaries public. Notaries are commissioned for four-year terms by the Clerk of Superior Court in their county of residence.
Georgia Freight Broker Bond (BMC-84)
Property brokers registered with FMCSA must keep $75,000 in financial security under 49 U.S.C. 13906. A surety bond is filed on Form BMC-84; a trust fund is filed on Form BMC-85.
