About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the restoration deposit bond actually covers

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 a premium starting from $100 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.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Kansas City restoration deposit bond?
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The amount itself is the restoration deposit the City of Kansas City set. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application — far cheaper than tying up the full deposit in cash.
Why post a bond instead of cash?
A cash restoration deposit sits with the city until your work is accepted. A bond guarantees the same restoration for a premium starting from $100 and keeps your cash in your business — that is the whole point of this bond.
Is there a credit check?
Yes — a quick soft credit check, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price.
Do I pay the full deposit amount?
No. You pay the premium, from $100. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Kansas City — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
Where do I file it?
With the City of Kansas City, in lieu of the cash restoration deposit on your right-of-way work. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
