About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

City of Lafayette — Right of Way / Public WorksThe City of Lafayette requires a surety bond as a condition of its right-of-way permit, administered through its Public Works / right-of-way function; the $5,000 amount and terms are set by the City. Confirm the current amount and form on your City right-of-way permit application — we issue the bond for whatever figure the City names.
