Working in an Elk Grove Village right-of-way — sidewalks, curbs, driveway aprons, and similar work — 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 permit bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, the work location, 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.

Elk Grove Village requires a $50,000 performance bond for work performed in its rights-of-way under a right-of-way permit — a broader category than excavation alone, covering sidewalk, curb, apron, and similar surface work in the public way. The bond stands behind restoration of the right-of-way and compliance with the permit's 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 public as the protected parties. If work is left incomplete or damages the right-of-way, 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 permit is administered by the Village's Public Works Department; we could not locate a specific codified section number for this bond online, so we cite the Village's stated permit condition 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.
