The City of Roeland Park requires a $5,000 bond as a condition of its right-of-way permit. Ours is $100 — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The application collects no credit information. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Right-of-way bonds are among the simplest things in surety. Here's the whole process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed right-of-way bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
When you trench, bore, or build in Roeland Park's public right-of-way — its streets, curbs, and easements — the city wants a financial backstop that you'll restore what you disturb and follow its standards. This bond is that backstop.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Roeland Park (the obligee). If you leave the right-of-way un-restored or damage city property and the city has to fix it, Roeland Park can recover against the bond.
Roeland Park Public Works ties this fixed $5,000 bond to its right-of-way permits. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
