The City of Hobart requires a right-of-way permit bond before it lets you cut, bore, or open a city street or sidewalk. It guarantees you restore the right-of-way to city standards. Hobart sets the amount on your permit; the premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — enter your figure below for the exact price.
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:

The application collects no credit information, and there is no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit at the City of Hobart. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the city set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your right-of-way permit.
