The City of Oak Park requires a permit bond before you cut, excavate, or place utilities in a city street or right-of-way. The city sets the amount on your permit — and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

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 with your right-of-way / street-opening permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.

City streets and the right-of-way beneath them are public infrastructure. The City of Oak Park requires a permit before anyone cuts, excavates, bores, 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 Oak Park can recover against the bond to make it right.
The city sets the bond amount on your permit, sized to the work and the restoration involved. 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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Oak Park set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
