What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the city. Submit the executed bond with your City of Greenfield right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
