Termite Bond Renewal Cost: What to Expect (Georgia)

We are a referral service, not a pest control contractor — we may be paid when you call. Full disclosure.

Georgia termite bond renewals run $200–$475 a year, and they escalate. The renewal is where most of the lifetime cost sits, and it is the part almost nobody asks about at signing.

Renewals escalate — ask for the schedule

A bond quoted at $255 in year one is rarely $255 in year five. Escalation is normal and not a scam, but it should be in writing before you sign. Ask for the schedule, not a verbal reassurance that it goes up a little.

The tier difference matters more than the price

Tier	Covers	Annual
Retreatment only	They treat again. Damage is yours.	$200–310
Retreatment + repair	Treatment and structural repair to a stated cap.	$310–475

Most homeowner policies do not cover termite damage. That is the entire argument for the repair tier — there is no other product covering termite damage to your house.

What voids a renewal

Disturbing the treated soil barrier — decks, regrading, French drains, flower beds against the foundation.
Missing the annual inspection.
Non-payment lapse, which frequently restarts the waiting period rather than resuming coverage.

Common questions

Can I negotiate the renewal?

Yes, and most people never try. January–February is the shoulder season. Operators discount annual contracts 10–20% off list to fill the calendar before swarm season.

Does it transfer if I sell?

Usually, often for a fee, but it is not automatic and it is one of the most commonly dropped items at closing.
