Bloomington closure bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Before you close a lane, bike lane, or sidewalk in Bloomington, the City requires a $5,000 closure bond filed with your closure permit. Ours is $275 flat — that is the $275 minimum, and 3% of $5,000 is $150, so the minimum applies. The application is five minutes, and this bond has no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the closure bond actually guarantees
A lane, bike-lane, or sidewalk closure bond is a public-property guarantee. When you obstruct a Bloomington right-of-way for construction, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the lane, bike lane, or sidewalk and follow the conditions of your closure permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bloomington (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way, fail to restore it, or leave a closure beyond your permit, the City can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the closure period the City permits. Let it lapse and the City can suspend the permit — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
