The City of Dearborn Heights requires contractors who open or work in its public right-of-way to file a bond before it issues permits. A blanket bond covers all of your Dearborn Heights permits for the year instead of one per job — we issue it at a flat 3%, $275 minimum, with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for a standard municipal 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 of Dearborn Heights required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond to the City of Dearborn Heights to satisfy your blanket right-of-way permit registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure the City of Dearborn Heights set and the premium updates.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Dearborn Heights set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
