Winona right-of-way excavation bonds.
From $100.
The City of Winona requires a $10,000 surety bond to excavate in the public right-of-way — opening streets, boulevards, or sidewalks for utility or other work. Pricing starts from $100 per term. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Winona right-of-way excavation bond is a right-of-way guarantee to the City. It promises that when you open streets, boulevards, or sidewalks in Winona to excavate, you'll properly backfill, restore the surface, and leave the public right-of-way as good as you found it.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Winona (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or leave it unsafe, the City can do the work and recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active while your permit is open. Let it lapse and the City can hold your permit — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
