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, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
