The City of Bloomington requires a $10,000 right-of-way bond for commercial driveway installation, filed with the Planning and Transportation Department. Our premium is $300 flat (3% of $10,000), and the application is five minutes.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Fixed-amount permit bonds like this typically issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Bloomington Planning and Transportation Department with your 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.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
