The City of Lebanon requires a $5,000 right-of-way 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. Ours is $275 flat — the 3% minimum on a $5,000 bond, the same for everyone.
















Fixed right-of-way bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed right-of-way bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
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.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which is below our $275 minimum, so the premium is $275 one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
