CO right of way bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
Before you cut, excavate, or build in a Colorado public right of way, the permitting authority — CDOT on state highways, or a city or county on local roads — usually requires a bond as a condition of the access or work permit. The authority sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

What the right of way bond actually covers
A right of way bond backs work done in the public right of way — the strip of public land along a road or highway used for driveways, utilities, curb cuts, excavation, and similar work. The permitting authority requires the bond so that, if you damage the road or fail to restore the right of way, there is money to make it right.
On state highways, CDOT administers access permits under the State Highway Access Code and can require a performance bond under its Performance Bond Guidelines, generally for private projects. On local roads, a city or county sets its own right-of-way or excavation permit bonding — amounts vary widely by jurisdiction.
Because the amount is set by whichever authority issues your permit, there is no single statutory figure. Enter the amount on your permit and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check — same honest pricing as every bond we write.
