§ 82-261. Security required.

(a)

All public improvements which are to be dedicated to and accepted at the county's sole election shall be maintained by the developer for the period of two years after the vote of the board of commissioners. For streets being accepted by the board of commissioners as county streets, the developer shall post a surety bond or letter of credit with the board of commissioners in an amount to be determined by Gilmer County. If, upon proper notification of failure of the dedicated improvements, the developer does not correct the deficiency or commence remedial work within ten days of notice, it shall be deemed to be a failure on the security, and the board of commissioners shall have the right to make the necessary repairs, either by public work or by private contract, and the surety shall be liable for the full amount of the cost of such repairs.

(b)

If after the period of two years the board of commissioners finds that the dedicated improvements are holding up with only normal wear and tear, the maintenance security will be released.
