About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

City of Tarrant — right-of-way permitThe City of Tarrant requires this bond as a condition of its right-of-way permit; the $10,000 bond amount and terms are set by the City. Confirm the required amount and bond form with the City of Tarrant public works or permitting office.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the City of Tarrant. 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.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
