City of Canton right of way bonds.
$100 flat.
The City of Canton requires a $5,000 bond as a condition of a permit to work in or open the public right of way — streets, sidewalks, and utility cuts. Ours is $100 flat — the price set by our carrier for this bond. 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 right-of-way permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the city. The City of Canton conditions a right-of-way permit on this bond so there's a financial backstop that you'll properly restore any street, sidewalk, or public surface you cut or disturb, and follow the city's permit conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you, the permittee (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Canton (the obligee). If you leave the right of way unrestored or violate the permit terms, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts and follow permit conditions treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
