The City of Bloomington requires a $5,000 right-of-way bond to store a dumpster, POD, or construction materials in the public right-of-way, filed with the Planning and Transportation Department. Our premium is $275 — the 3% minimum — 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.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, raised to our $275 minimum, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A Bloomington storage bond is a right-of-way protection guarantee. Placing a dumpster, POD, or construction materials in the public right-of-way occupies and can damage the surface — the city wants assurance the area is kept safe 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 is damaged or left unrestored and you don't fix it, the city can recover the cost against the bond.
The city sets $5,000 for storing dumpsters or construction materials in the right-of-way. A bond must be on file with the Planning and Transportation Department for the permit, 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.
