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.
