About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Smithville, Missouri conditions work in the public right of way on a $25,000 performance and maintenance bond. It is a two-part guarantee to the city: that you'll perform the right-of-way work correctly, and that you'll maintain and warrant the restoration for a set period after.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Smithville (the obligee). If you leave the right of way defective, fail to restore pavement and curb, or the restoration fails during the maintenance period, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right of way to standard and hold up through the warranty period treat the bond as a permit formality.

Common questions.

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

Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Smithville; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The City of Smithville, Missouri requires it as a condition of a right-of-way permit. It is a $25,000 performance and maintenance bond set by the city.
What does the bond guarantee? +
Two things: that you perform the right-of-way work correctly, and that the restoration holds up through the maintenance/warranty period the city sets. If it fails, the city can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
