What it is and who needs it.
What the ROW permit bond actually covers
When a contractor or utility opens, cuts, bores, or works in a public street or right-of-way, the Town of Zionsville requires a right-of-way permit — and conditions that permit on a surety bond. The bond guarantees you restore the pavement, curb, and right-of-way to the town's standards once the work is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Zionsville (the obligee). If you leave a trench unrestored, damage town infrastructure, or fail to repair a settled patch, the town can recover its restoration costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who patch correctly and pass the town's final inspection never see a claim. Enter the amount your permit requires and apply — the premium is 1% of that amount, $100 minimum, priced by your bond amount, not a credit tier.

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.

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 $50,000. 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.
