About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Homewood paving bond guarantees

When a contractor cuts, paves, or excavates in a city street or right-of-way in Homewood — for a utility tie-in, a driveway approach, or roadwork — the City of Homewood requires a $10,000 bond before issuing the permit.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Homewood (the obligee). The bond guarantees you restore the pavement and right-of-way to the city’s standard and follow its excavation rules. If you leave damage the city has to fix, Homewood can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who patch and restore properly treat the bond as a permit formality. The amount is fixed at $10,000; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

City of Homewood right-of-way permittingThe City of Homewood requires this $10,000 bond as a condition of a paving or excavating permit in city streets and right-of-way, guaranteeing restoration of the public way. The bond amount is named in the bond; permit terms are set by the City of Homewood’s engineering/public works office. We do not cite a specific municipal code section we cannot verify — confirm details with the city.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the City of Homewood paving or excavating bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 is set by the city, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety’s maximum liability to the city if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you restore the street and right-of-way you cut or paved, and follow the City of Homewood’s excavation rules. If you leave damage the city has to repair, Homewood can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don’t need one.
When does it renew? +
You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your bond stays current while you hold city paving or excavating permits.
