About this bond

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. We issue that amount at a flat 3% with no credit check — enter the figure and the premium updates.

City of Mobile — right-of-way / excavation permit requirementThe City of Mobile requires this surety bond as a condition of its right-of-way / excavation permit; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Mobile public works / engineering office. We have not cited a specific ordinance number here because the amount is set per permit rather than by a fixed statutory citation — confirm the required amount on your City of Mobile permit.

How much is the City of Mobile right-of-way bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by the City of Mobile on your right-of-way permit. Enter the figure on your permit and the quote updates.
Do I pay the full bond amount? +
No. You pay 3% of it ($275 minimum). The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the city if you fail to restore the right of way — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check? +
No — this bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
Where do I file it? +
With the City of Mobile, alongside your right-of-way / excavation permit. We issue the executed bond ready to submit so the city can release your permit.
