The City of Anderson, Indiana requires a $10,000 right-of-way bond to open or work in City streets, sidewalks, and right-of-way. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for everyone. The application is five minutes with no credit check.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are simple to issue. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
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 arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Anderson right-of-way permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Anderson, Indiana requires a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of a right-of-way (street-opening) permit — the permit to cut, open, or work in City streets, sidewalks, and public right-of-way. The bond guarantees you'll restore the right-of-way to the City's standards and protect the traveling public.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Anderson (the obligee), with the public protected. If work damages City pavement, sidewalks, or utilities and isn't repaired, or a hazard is left in the right-of-way, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
