The City of Overland Park, KS requires a $15,000 right-of-way bond from a contractor pulling 10 permits or fewer in a given period — the higher-tier option above the individual single-permit bond. Ours is $450 flat — 3% of the $15,000 bond amount.
















A right-of-way bond is 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.
Fixed-amount municipal bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Overland Park for your right-of-way permits. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$15,000 bond × 3% = $450, one-time per term (above the $275 minimum). Pick a 1, 2, or 3-year term.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
