Instead of tying up cash, the City of Kansas City lets you post a restoration deposit performance bond to guarantee you will restore the public right-of-way after your work. The city sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull only — so your cash stays in your business.
















Post the bond instead of cash. Enter the amount the city set, consent to a soft pull, and file. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the restoration deposit amount the city required, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The soft pull never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond to the City of Kansas City in lieu of a cash restoration deposit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the restoration deposit the city set and the premium updates — far cheaper than tying up the full amount in cash.
Work in the City of Kansas City right-of-way can require a restoration deposit — money the city holds to guarantee you will repair the pavement, curb, and surface you disturb. Rather than tie up that cash, the city lets you post a restoration deposit performance bond in its place.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kansas City (the obligee). If you don't restore the right-of-way, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond — up to the deposit amount the city set.
The advantage is your cash stays in your business. You pay the 3% premium instead of parking the full deposit with the city. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — so contractors who restore their work clean treat the bond as a cash-flow win.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
