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 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 pricing starts from $100 — the application collects no credit information — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
