About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way bond actually covers

When you open the public right-of-way in the City of Hobart — cutting pavement, boring under a street, or trenching a sidewalk — the city requires a right-of-way permit bond as a condition of the permit. The bond guarantees you backfill, repave, and restore the right-of-way to city standards when the work is done.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hobart (the obligee). If you leave the street or sidewalk unrestored and the city has to fix it, the city can recover its costs against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

The amount is set by the city from the size and location of your work, so it varies job to job — and the premium varies with it. Enter the figure on your permit; the premium is 1% of that amount, $100 minimum. The application collects no credit information — same honest pricing as every bond we write.
