About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

For residential driveway work in a City of Jacksonville right-of-way, the City's Development Services Review Group accepts a $10,000 surety bond on its own one-year form, “Surety Bond For Residential Driveways”, filed before you apply for the permit. The Ordinance Code reads differently: since Ord. 2024-950-E, §744.110(c)(1) names a $10,000 unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit for this work and no longer lists a surety bond.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Jacksonville (the obligee, the party the bond is payable to). If you fail to restore the road or pavement you remove, or to follow Ordinance Code §744.110 and your permit, the bond pays for loss to the City or an adjoining property owner, including warning signals and barricades.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The City’s form runs for one year, so renew it to keep a current bond on file.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Jacksonville residential driveway right-of-way bond?The premium is $100 flat, one-time — the price you see is the checkout price for the $10,000 bond.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

What does the bond guarantee?That you restore the road and pavement you remove and follow Ordinance Code §744.110 and your permit. If you do not, the bond pays for loss to the City or an adjoining property owner, including warning signals and barricades — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — there's no SSN or credit section to fill out. Most applications like this approve instantly.

How fast will I have the bond?Small bonds like this often issue right after purchase, and your e-signed copy arrives by email. The City files only the original sealed bond, which we mail on request; bring it in or mail it to the Development Services Review Group, 214 N. Hogan St., Second Floor.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
