The City of Clio requires a right-of-way bond before a contractor or utility opens, excavates, or works in the city’s streets and public right-of-way — it guarantees you restore the area and follow the permit. The city sets the amount; the premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with no credit information collected.
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way bond — enter your amount, pay, 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.
The application collects no credit information, so most amounts issue as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way or street-opening permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
The City of Clio, in Genesee County, controls its streets, sidewalks, and public right-of-way. When a contractor or utility opens pavement, trenches the parkway, or otherwise works within city right-of-way, Clio requires a right-of-way bond as a condition of the permit.
The bond guarantees that you restore the disturbed area to the city’s specification and follow the permit’s terms — backfill, repave, replace what you remove, and leave the right-of-way safe. If you leave an unrestored cut or your work fails, the city can recover against the bond to finish it.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Clio (the obligee). It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city to repair your work, you repay the surety. Enter the amount the city set; premiums start from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Clio set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
