The Township of Clinton requires a $5,000 right-of-way bond before it issues a single-job street-opening permit. This bond is priced by our carrier's rate book at a flat $100 for the $5,000 amount — the price you see is the price you pay, with no credit section in the application.
















A fixed-amount municipal right-of-way bond is about as simple as surety gets. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials and no credit section.
Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your right-of-way permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the Township of Clinton. When you open pavement, trench, or work in a township road, sidewalk, or curb under a permit, the township wants a financial backstop that the right-of-way will be restored and your permit conditions met.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Clinton (the obligee). If you damage public infrastructure and fail to repair it, the township can recover its restoration costs against the bond up to the $5,000 amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the township, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way to standard treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
