Before you excavate, cut pavement, or work in the public right-of-way in Bloomington, the city requires a right-of-way permit backed by a surety bond.

The City of Bloomington controls who may excavate or work in the public right-of-way — streets, alleys, sidewalks, and the space between them. A right-of-way permit is conditioned on a surety bond so the city is protected if the work is left unsafe or the surface is not restored.
It's a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bloomington (the obligee). If you fail to backfill, repave, and restore the right-of-way to city standard — or leave a hazard — the city can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their work cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the city set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount the city set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
