What it is and who needs it.
What the permit bond actually covers
When you cut into or build on the public right-of-way in the City of Central — a curb cut for a new driveway, a sidewalk replacement, or a street cut to reach a utility — the city issues a permit and conditions it on a surety bond. The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your putting the right-of-way back the way the city requires.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Central (the obligee). If the work damages city property or you fail to restore the cut to standard, the city can recover its costs against the bond.
Because the amount tracks the work, there is no single statutory figure — the city sets it on your permit, often tied to the cost of the restoration. Enter that figure and see your exact price — 1% of the amount, $100 minimum — at the application.

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 Central. Submit the executed bond with your curb, sidewalk, or street-cut permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
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.
