Robins excavation permit bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Before the City of Robins will issue an excavation permit to dig in its streets or right-of-way, it requires a $5,000 surety bond. Ours is $275 flat — the 3% minimum — and the application is five minutes with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the Robins excavation bond guarantees
An excavation-permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Robins. It backs your promise to backfill, compact, and restore any street, curb, sidewalk, or right-of-way you open — and to do it to the City standard.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Robins (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or leave a defective patch, the City can recover the cost against the bond up to $5,000.
The bond must stay active while your permit is open. Many contractors keep a continuous bond on file so they can pull excavation permits all season — we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
