About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way bond actually covers

City streets and the right-of-way beneath them are public infrastructure. The City of Grand Haven requires a permit before anyone cuts, excavates, or places utilities in a city street or right-of-way — and conditions that permit on a surety bond.

The bond stands behind your restoration of the street and right-of-way and your compliance with the permit conditions. If you damage the pavement, leave a cut unrestored, or walk away from the work, the City of Grand Haven can recover against the bond to make it right.

The city sets the bond amount on your permit — commonly $5,000, and higher for larger work. Enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
