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 Lebanon — cutting pavement, boring under a street, or trenching a sidewalk — the city requires a $5,000 right-of-way 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 Lebanon (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 bond stays on file for as long as your right-of-way work is open. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your $5,000 filing stays continuous for as long as the city requires it.

After you buy

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

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 Lebanon. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your right-of-way or street-opening permit at the City of Lebanon. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
