About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

When you cut, bore, or build in Overland Park's public right-of-way — the streets, sidewalks, and easements the city maintains — the city wants a financial backstop that you'll restore what you disturb and follow its construction standards. This bond is that backstop.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Overland Park (the obligee). If you leave a trench un-restored, damage city pavement, or violate the right-of-way ordinance and the city has to fix it, Overland Park can recover against the bond.

This is the 25-permits-or-fewer annual bond — a blanket bond covering your right-of-way permits for the year rather than one per job. Higher-volume contractors carry a larger blanket. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety.

Overland Park Municipal Code, Ch. 13.12 (Right-of-Way)The City of Overland Park regulates work in the public right-of-way under Overland Park Municipal Code Chapter 13.12 and requires a surety bond as a condition of its right-of-way permits. The 25-permits-or-fewer annual bond amount is $30,000, set and administered by Overland Park Public Works. Confirm the amount and form on your permit packet, or send it to us and we'll match it.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Overland Park 25-permit right-of-way bond?The premium is $300 — set by our carrier for this specific $30,000 bond, the same for every contractor. The $30,000 is set by the city, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $30,000?No. You pay $300. The $30,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Overland Park if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

What is the 25-permits-or-fewer distinction?Overland Park offers a blanket right-of-way bond by permit volume. This $30,000 bond covers contractors who pull 25 or fewer permits a year. If you pull more, the city requires a larger blanket bond — send us your permit packet and we will issue the right one.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — there's no credit section at all. Most applications on this bond approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active as long as you hold Overland Park right-of-way permits. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your permits never lapse over a missed email.
