Before sidewalk work in the public right-of-way, the City of Wyandotte requires a $1,000 sidewalk permit bond. The price you see is the checkout price — $100 flat — same for everyone. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.
















Permit bonds like this are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application. No credit check.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Wyandotte to pull your sidewalk permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A sidewalk permit bond is a workmanship and restoration guarantee. When you build or replace sidewalks in the Wyandotte public right-of-way, the City of Wyandotte wants assurance the work meets city standards and the right-of-way is restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wyandotte (the obligee). If your work is defective or you damage city property and don't fix it, the City can recover against the $1,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour to spec treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
