What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually guarantees
When you work in the City of Jeffersontown's public right-of-way — cutting pavement, excavating, boring, setting utility facilities, or building a driveway approach — the city conditions its right-of-way permit on a surety bond. The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to restore the street, sidewalk, curb, or right-of-way to the city's standard and to follow the terms of your permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Jeffersontown (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way and fail to restore it, or leave the work out of compliance, the city can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way properly and close out their permits treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the city set, from $100, with no credit check up to $100,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City of Jeffersontown. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way / encroachment permit application to the city. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
