What it is and who needs it.
What the pole attachment bond covers
A pole attachment is any attachment by a cable system or telecommunications provider to a pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way owned or controlled by a utility — defined in 47 U.S.C. 224(a)(4). The federal framework of 47 U.S.C. 224 and the FCC’s pole-attachment rules (47 CFR Part 1, Subpart J) governs the rates, terms, and conditions of that access.
Pole owners commonly require an attacher to post a surety bond as a condition of the pole attachment agreement. The bond has two core promises: financial performance — the attacher will make payments due to the pole owner under the agreement — and indemnity — the attacher will hold the owner harmless from losses, liability, claims, judgments, liens, and costs arising from the attacher’s default.
The specific bond amount is set by the pole owner or the agreement, not by a single federal figure — so confirm it with your owner. It is a guarantee, not insurance for the attacher: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount required at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
