Any excavation work in an Elk Grove Village right-of-way requires a $50,000 performance bond filed with the Village before a permit is issued — ours is $500 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft pull only.
















Right-of-way excavation bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, the excavation site, and an effective date. That's the application.
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 Elk Grove Village excavation permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Elk Grove Village requires anyone digging, boring, or otherwise excavating in a Village right-of-way to file a $50,000 performance bond before the permit is issued. The bond stands behind the restoration of the right-of-way to its original condition and compliance with the Village's excavation permit conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Elk Grove Village (the obligee), with the Village and the traveling public as the protected parties. If excavation work is left incomplete or the right-of-way is not properly restored, the Village can present a claim against the bond to cover the repair cost.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The Village's excavation and right-of-way permit rules are administered by its Public Works Department; we could not locate a specific codified section number for this bond online, so we cite the Village's permit requirement rather than an invented ordinance.
These are the actual issuing fields — a short business and project application with a soft-pull credit consent, nothing more.
