The City of Overland Park, KS requires a $2,000 right-of-way bond for an individual ROW permit — the option for someone pulling a single permit rather than the higher-tier contractor bond. Ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier for this bond.
















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 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 permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A right-of-way bond is a public-property protection guarantee. The City of Overland Park, KS conditions a right-of-way permit on a surety bond, so that when work is done in city streets, sidewalks, and public ways, the city has a financial backstop that the property will be restored and the permit conditions followed. This $2,000 tier is the individual / single-permit option.
It is a three-party arrangement: the permittee (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Overland Park (the obligee). If a permittee leaves a defective patch, damages public infrastructure, or violates the permit, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. If you pull right-of-way permits regularly, the City of Overland Park offers a higher contractor-tier bond ($15,000 for 10 permits or fewer) that may fit better.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond doesn't need any.
