The City of Wheat Ridge conditions its right-of-way permit on a fixed $10,000 bond. At a flat 3% that is $300 — the same price for every contractor. It guarantees you restore the right-of-way you disturb. The application is five minutes, with no credit check on this bond.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are among the simplest in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Small fixed permit bonds like this often issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Wheat Ridge requires a permit to work in its public right-of-way — to cut a street, open a sidewalk, or place utilities — and conditions that permit on a $10,000 bond. The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your patching, restoring, and stabilizing the right-of-way you disturb, to the City's standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wheat Ridge (the obligee). If a contractor leaves the right-of-way unrestored or damages City infrastructure, the City can recover against the bond to make the repairs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Keep your restorations clean and the bond is a permit formality. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your $10,000 filing stays continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
