About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Kissimmee ROW bond covers

When you place facilities in the public right-of-way in the City of Kissimmee, or excavate in it — cutting pavement, boring under a road, or laying utilities — City Code §38-118 conditions your right-of-way permit on a bond. The bond protects the city, not you.

It guarantees that you restore the right-of-way to the city’s standard when the work is finished — backfill, repave, replace sidewalk and curb, and clean up — and that the city is not left paying to fix a failed restoration.

The City Code sets the amount by a schedule, with a $500 minimum, and never less than 150% of the cost to restore any foreseeable damage. The city manager may waive the bond. The schedule covers non-city-owned utility projects; communications and wireless providers post their own bonds under other sections of the Code. If the city calls the bond and the surety pays, you repay the surety — so contractors who restore cleanly treat this as a permit formality.

City of Kissimmee Code, §38-118(4) and §38-24Section 38-118 of the City of Kissimmee Code conditions a right-of-way permit for facilities in, or excavation within, city rights-of-way on an application, an agreement to restore the disturbed right-of-way, a fee, a bond and proof of liability insurance. Under §38-118(4) the permittee posts a bond in the amount the §38-24 schedule sets, but not less than 150 percent of the amount required to restore any foreseeable damage, unless the city manager waives it. The schedule applies only to non-city-owned utility projects: $1,000 for a paved open street cut or a bore and jack, $250 for an unpaved open street cut, an amount per 100 feet of longitudinal cut that depends on the width of the cut, and a minimum of $500 for the bond, so a single $250 cut still posts $500. Confirm the amount on your permit.
