What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When you install, maintain, or repair anything in a Nixa public right-of-way or easement — a driveway approach, sidewalk, or a utility line that requires digging, trenching, or cutting a roadway, curb, or sidewalk — the City requires a right-of-way encroachment permit. As a condition, you post a construction bond of at least $5,000 naming the City of Nixa as payee.
The bond's stated purpose is plain: to reimburse the City for the cost of removing an encroachment if you fail to. You may post cash or a certified check, or — upon the Director's approval — file a surety bond from a company authorized to do general surety business in Missouri. That is the bond we issue.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety reimburses the City, you repay the surety. Applicants who finish their work and restore the right-of-way properly 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.
How to file it
File with your Nixa permit. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Nixa encroachment permit application through the City (myNixa). Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
