About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Dearborn Heights right-of-way bond covers

A right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Dearborn Heights. When you cut pavement, open a trench, or work in a city street, sidewalk, or curb, the city wants a financial backstop that the right-of-way will be restored to its standard and that you will follow your permit conditions.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dearborn Heights (the obligee). If you damage public infrastructure and fail to repair it, the city can recover its restoration costs against the bond.

A blanket bond is the version for contractors who pull permits all year — one filing covers every Dearborn Heights right-of-way permit for the term, rather than a separate bond per job. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety.

City of Dearborn Heights (right-of-way permit)The City of Dearborn Heights requires this bond as a condition of its right-of-way / street-opening permit program; the bond amount and terms are set by the city (Engineering / Department of Public Works) when you register as a permitted contractor.
