What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually guarantees
The City of Belvidere's Department of Public Works conditions a Right-of-Way Permit on a Right-of-Way Performance Bond, payable to the City. Work in the public right-of-way — utility cuts, driveway aprons, and similar — has to meet the City's specifications and the state's Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, including temporary patching and traffic control until the City accepts the completed work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Belvidere (the obligee). The bond form itself conditions the obligation on faithfully indemnifying and holding the City and its officials harmless from any loss, cost, or liability arising from the permitted work or the failure to complete it to the ordinances' requirements.
Because Public Works sizes the bond to the scope of the work, there is no single fixed amount — enter the figure your permit specifies, and we price it from a $100 minimum. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, October 7, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
