What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
A right-of-way bond is a restoration and compliance guarantee to the city. The City of Mobile lets you cut pavement, excavate, or place facilities in the public right of way — and in exchange wants a financial backstop that you'll restore it to standard and follow the permit conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mobile (the obligee). If you leave the right of way unrestored or in violation of the permit, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond.
The city sets the amount on your permit, usually scaled to the work. The bond is priced at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — enter the figure and apply to see your exact price.
