About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Bloomington commercial driveway bond is a right-of-way restoration guarantee. A commercial drive approach crosses the public right-of-way and carries heavier traffic — the city sets a higher bond so the apron, sidewalk, and curb are built and restored to its standard.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bloomington (the obligee). If the right-of-way work is defective or left unrestored and you don't fix it, the city can recover the repair cost against the bond.

The city sets $10,000 for commercial driveway installation — twice the residential amount. A bond must be on file with the Planning and Transportation Department before work begins, so we keep it current and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

City of Bloomington — Planning & TransportationThe City of Bloomington requires a $10,000 bond for a commercial driveway installation permit in the right-of-way, on file with the Planning and Transportation Department before work begins, naming the City of Bloomington as obligee. The bond amount and permit terms are set by that department; confirm current requirements with the city.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Bloomington commercial driveway bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond, the same for every applicant. The $10,000 is set by the city, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is this different from the residential driveway bond? +
Yes. Commercial driveway installation uses this $10,000 bond. Residential driveway installation uses the smaller $5,000 City of Bloomington bond.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section. Fixed-amount permit bonds this size don't need one.
Where do I file it? +
With the City of Bloomington Planning and Transportation Department, alongside your right-of-way permit. We mail wet-ink originals on request.
