Before the City of Westwood Hills issues a permit to work in its public right-of-way, it requires a surety bond — the city sets the amount on the permit. We issue it at a flat 3%, $275 minimum, with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.
















Your right-of-way permit is waiting on this bond. Here's the whole process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, the bond amount the city set, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to attach to your City of Westwood Hills right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure the City of Westwood Hills set and the premium updates.
A right-of-way permit bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee to the City of Westwood Hills. When you open a street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way, the city wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the surface and follow the permit's terms.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Westwood Hills (the obligee). If you leave a trench unrestored, damage city infrastructure, or otherwise violate the permit, the city can recover against the bond.
Because the City of Westwood Hills sets the amount on each permit, you enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% — one soft credit pull informs approval, never the price.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
