About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way bond actually covers

The City of Jeffersonville's public right-of-way — its streets, sidewalks, and the space beneath and above them — is city property. Before you open it to lay a utility, bore a line, or build an encroachment, the city's permit conditions the work on a surety bond.

The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Jeffersonville (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored, damage city infrastructure, or violate the permit, the city can repair the work and recover the cost against the bond.

We issue the amount the city set; pricing is credit-tier based, starting from $100, and the application collects no credit information. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
