About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way bond actually covers

The City of Kansas City controls work in its public right-of-way — street cuts, bores, driveway connections, line installations — and will not issue a right-of-way use permit without a performance and maintenance bond on file. The bond does two jobs: it guarantees the work is completed to city standards, and it stands behind a maintenance period afterward.

That maintenance period often extends two to three years beyond the project, and a defect that appears during it — settled trench, failed patch, damaged curb — can trigger a claim. The bond gives the city the funds to fix the right-of-way if the contractor doesn't.

Because the work varies, the amount is whatever the City of Kansas City sets on your permit, usually tied to the value of the work in the right-of-way. Enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

City of Kansas City Public Works (right-of-way permit)The City of Kansas City requires a right-of-way performance and maintenance bond as a condition of a right-of-way use permit, administered by the city Public Works department; the permit office will not issue a permit without it.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Kansas City right-of-way bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by the City of Kansas City on your right-of-way permit, usually tied to the value of the work. Enter that figure and the quote updates.
Why is there a maintenance period? +
A street cut or trench can settle or fail months after it is patched. The City of Kansas City requires the bond to stand behind a maintenance period — commonly 2–3 years — so it can fix a defect that shows up after the job, if the contractor does not.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the standard right-of-way bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
Do I pay the full bond amount? +
No. You pay the 3% premium ($275 minimum). The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Kansas City — not a deposit. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
Where do I file it? +
With the City of Kansas City permit office, which will not issue your right-of-way use permit until the bond is on file. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
