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 no credit check up to $100,000. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 of Jeffersonville. Submit the executed bond with your 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 $100,000. 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.
