About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Belgrade right-of-way bond covers

The City of Belgrade controls work in its streets and rights-of-way. Before a contractor or utility excavates in the public way, the City conditions the permit on a right-of-way excavation bond filed with Belgrade Public Works.

The City sizes the bond at $4,000, or 125% of the estimated cost of the work, whichever is greater — the extra margin over the work cost gives the City room to complete and correct restoration if the contractor walks away.

It is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Belgrade (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way to City standards, Belgrade can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety.

How do I figure out the bond amount?Take 125% of the estimated cost of your right-of-way work. If that figure is below $4,000, the bond is $4,000; if it is above, use the 125% figure. The City of Belgrade names the amount on your permit — enter that.

Who requires this bond?The City of Belgrade, through its Public Works Department, requires it as a condition of a right-of-way excavation permit. No active bond, no permit to cut into the public way.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score.

What does the bond guarantee?That you restore the City right-of-way to Belgrade standards after your work — proper backfill, compaction, and surface repair. If you do not and the City has to fix it, Belgrade can claim against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
