When you cut into a curb, sidewalk, or street in the City of Central, the city requires a permit bond guaranteeing you restore the public right-of-way. The city sets the amount on your permit — the price is 1% of that amount, $100 minimum, calculated at the 60-second application.
















Most applicants clear the standard right-of-way bond in one pass — enter your amount, apply, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the city required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
Most applicants approve instantly and the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. If a check runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your score; larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your curb, sidewalk, or street-cut permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Central set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
