About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A City of Valley City right-of-way bond is a public-property guarantee. Work in city streets, boulevards, and right-of-way risks pavement and utilities — Valley City wants a financial backstop that you'll restore what you disturb and follow the city's right-of-way rules.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Valley City (the obligee). If you damage city property or fail to restore the right-of-way, the City can recover against the bond up to its full amount.

The bond must stay active while you hold the permit. Let it lapse and the City can stop your right-of-way work — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous.
