The Village of Deerfield conditions a permit to work on a public pavement, sidewalk, street, or right-of-way — governed by Chapter 19 of the Village Code — on a $5,000 surety bond filed with Public Works. Ours is $100 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Deerfield right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Chapter 19 of the Deerfield Village Code ("Streets and Sidewalks") governs work that touches public pavement, sidewalks, streets, or the right-of-way, and the village conditions a permit for that work on a $5,000 surety bond. It stands behind a contractor's promise to restore public infrastructure to code and to avoid damage that the village would otherwise have to repair at its own cost.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Deerfield (the obligee), with the village and the traveling public as the protected interest. If permitted work damages public infrastructure or violates the permit's conditions, the village can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We could not independently verify the specific subsection of Chapter 19 that fixes this dollar figure, so we cite the chapter rather than a section number; confirm your exact permit conditions with Public Works before you apply.
These are the actual issuing fields for the Deerfield right-of-way permit bond.
