This is the bond Douglasville wants from the contractor before residential permit work moves forward. It is a flat $10,000 on the city's own form, priced on an annual premium, and filed by email with the Building Division.
The City of Douglasville, Georgia uses a $10,000 Residential Code Compliance Bond for contractors working on residential projects. The contractor posts it, not the homeowner. It runs to the Governing Authority of the City of Douglasville and guarantees the contractor will faithfully perform its duties under the city's codes during the term of its city contractor license.

The bond form names the contractor as principal and ties the bond to a license as a contractor under the city's rules. A property owner doing their own work goes through the city's Homeowner Self Contractor Unlicensed Form instead. If you are the builder or remodeler pulling the permit, this bond is yours to provide.
The residential form carries a penal sum of $10,000. That differs from Douglasville's commercial code compliance bond, which is ten percent of construction cost with a $10,000 floor and a $50,000 cap. A contractor who does both kinds of work should not assume one bond covers the other.
The contractor agrees to follow the city's code and faithfully perform all of its duties as a contractor during the licensed term. The obligee is the Governing Authority of the City of Douglasville, State of Georgia, and its successors in office. The surety's liability is capped at $10,000 in total, no matter how many years the bond runs.
The bond is continuous from the effective date written on it. The surety can end liability for future work by giving the Building Official thirty days' notice.
Download the form from the Building Division Applications page, complete every field, and email it to permits@douglasvillega.gov. A notarized form may be uploaded if the notary signature, date and seal are clearly visible. The city's residential submittal checklist lists the code compliance bond as a New Only item alongside the required general contractor licensing information, so confirm with the Building Division at 678-449-3230 whether your permit needs it.
The bond is written for contractors. The form names the contractor as principal and ties it to a city contractor license. Homeowners doing their own work use the city's Homeowner Self Contractor Unlicensed Form. Ask the Building Division if you are unsure which applies.
