The City of Lafayette requires a $5,000 bond to pull a right-of-way permit and work in the public right of way. Ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier for this specific bond — the price you see is the checkout price, no quote process.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Lafayette right-of-way permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Lafayette requires a permit — and a $5,000 bond — before anyone cuts, excavates, or builds in the public right of way. The bond is the City's guarantee that you restore the right of way and follow the City's standards after your work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lafayette (the obligee). If a contractor damages the right of way and doesn't repair it, or violates the City's permit conditions, the City can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right of way treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information for this bond.
