A right-of-way bond is a public-property restoration guarantee. When you cut into or work within a City of Lapeer street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the surface to its specifications and won't leave the public with a failed patch.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lapeer (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If the restoration fails or the right-of-way is left damaged, the City can recover against the bond.
The City sets the amount on your permit, generally tied to the size of the opening or the cost to restore it. We issue that amount at a flat 3% with no credit check, on the City's bond form, ready to file with your right-of-way permit.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Lapeer set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
