The City of Greenfield, Indiana requires a surety bond before it issues a right-of-way permit to work in the public street, sidewalk, or utility easement. Premiums start from $100 — your exact price appears at the 60-second application, and most applicants qualify at or near the minimum.
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the city required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information — most bonds are generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick soft-pull review that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond with your City of Greenfield right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
When you cut, trench, or otherwise disturb the public right-of-way — a city street, sidewalk, or utility easement — the City of Greenfield, Indiana requires a right-of-way permit and a surety bond. The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to repair the right-of-way to the city’s standard once your work is done.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Greenfield (the obligee). If you leave the pavement, curb, or sidewalk in worse condition than the city accepts and fail to fix it, the city can recover against the bond to make the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, repave, and close out their permits cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Greenfield set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
