Enid Arborist Bond
What it is & who requires it
Arborists licensed by Enid. This is one of the few Oklahoma cities to license tree work as a trade in its own right, with its own chapter, and the figure behind it is far larger than anything comparable in the state — which is worth knowing even though no amount is published here. The reason none renders is that the city offers a choice: the ordinance heading is bond or insurance coverage, and an arborist may file public liability and property damage cover instead of a bond, at limits the section sets for injury to one person, for injury to more than one, and for property damage. Ask the city which it wants before buying either. The same chapter also obliges the arborist to remove debris and fill excavations, which is what the bond limb secures.
Obligee: City of Enid. Citation: Enid Code of Ordinances § 3-16-3 (Bond or insurance coverage); § 3-16-1 (Definition); § 3-16-2 (License required; fee; conditions); § 3-16-4 (Removal of debris; filling excavations); Title 3 ch. 16 — Arborists; Ord. 2004-19.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the arborist license and conditioned on compliance with the chapter.
Renewal: With the license.
Filing
Executed to the City with the arborist license. No figure is published because subsection (B) is an express insurance-in-lieu-of-bond provision — where a code offers insurance at the same level as the bond, the bond is one route rather than the requirement. Note also that the bond limb does not name a surety anywhere in the chapter, so even the bond route rests on the absence of a competing instrument rather than on express words. Confirm both the amount and the accepted form with the city clerk.
