About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A right-of-way bond is a public-property protection guarantee. The City of Overland Park, KS conditions contractor right-of-way work on a surety bond, so that when you open streets, cut sidewalks, or work in the public way, the city has a financial backstop that the property will be restored and the permit conditions followed. This $15,000 tier covers a contractor pulling 10 permits or fewer.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Overland Park (the obligee). If a contractor leaves a defective patch, damages public infrastructure, or violates a permit, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Pulling only one permit? The City of Overland Park offers a $2,000 individual ROW bond that may fit better.

City of Overland Park, KS — Public Works / Right-of-WayThe City of Overland Park, KS requires this $15,000 bond as a condition of contractor right-of-way work for those pulling 10 permits or fewer; the bond amount, tiers, and terms are set by the City of Overland Park and its Public Works department.
