About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Winona sidewalk and driveway permit bond is a right-of-way guarantee to the City. It promises that when you build or replace sidewalks, driveways, curb and gutter in Winona, you'll meet city specifications and properly restore the public right-of-way.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Winona (the obligee). If the work fails to meet spec or leaves the right-of-way damaged, the City can repair it 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.

City of Winona Public WorksThe City of Winona requires this bond as a condition of its sidewalk, driveway, curb and gutter construction permit, administered by Public Works / engineering; the $10,000 amount and bond terms are set by the City. Confirm the current form and amount with Public Works before filing.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Winona sidewalk & driveway permit bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active while your permit is open. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your permit never lapses over a missed email.
