Aurora right-of-way bonds.
$600. Five minutes.
The City of Aurora requires a $20,000 right-of-way permit bond before a contractor works in the public right-of-way — cutting pavement, trenching, or restoring city streets. Ours is $600 flat, 3% of the bond amount, the same for every contractor.

What it is and who needs it.
What the Aurora ROW bond guarantees
The City of Aurora controls work in its public right-of-way — the streets, sidewalks, and utility easements the city owns — and conditions a right-of-way permit on a $20,000 surety bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Aurora (the obligee). The bond guarantees that you restore any pavement, curb, or infrastructure you disturb to city standards and follow the conditions of your permit.
It is not insurance for you — if the city draws on the bond to fix unrestored work, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, repave, and close out permits treat the bond as a permit formality.
