The City of Clinton requires a fixed $10,000 bond before a contractor opens its right-of-way under a permit. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for everyone. Five-minute application, no credit check on this bond.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Clinton right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
