The City of Tarrant requires a $10,000 bond as a condition of a right-of-way permit — to guarantee you restore city streets, sidewalks, and the public right-of-way after your work. Ours is $300 flat, 3% of the bond amount, with no credit check.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Right-of-way bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Tarrant right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Tarrant, in Jefferson County, issues permits to work in its public right-of-way — the streets, sidewalks, and utility corridors the city controls. As a condition of that permit, the City requires a $10,000 surety bond.
The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee to the City: it stands behind your obligation to properly restore any pavement, sidewalk, or right-of-way you disturb and to follow the permit's conditions. If you leave a defective patch or unrestored cut, the City can recover the cost of repair against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their work to city standard treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
