Nixa right-of-way encroachment bonds.
$275 flat. Five minutes.
The City of Nixa requires a $5,000 construction bond naming the City as payee when you apply for a right-of-way encroachment permit — set out in Chapter 24 of the Nixa City Code. Ours is $275 flat, the same for every applicant, and encroachment bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, below our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 — one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
