What it is and who needs it.
What the Clinton right-of-way bond guarantees
The City of Clinton controls its public right-of-way — the streets, sidewalks, and easements where utilities run. Before a contractor opens that right-of-way under a permit, the city conditions the permit on a $10,000 surety bond.
The bond runs to the City of Clinton as obligee and guarantees that you restore the right-of-way to city standards and follow your permit conditions. If you leave a street cut or sidewalk patch that fails, the city can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way cleanly treat it as a permit formality. We track the filing and notify you 60 and 30 days out so it stays continuous.
