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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
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 $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
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.
