The City of Valley City requires a right-of-way bond before you work in its streets and public right-of-way. The City sets the bond amount; you enter it and pricing is set at 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. Your exact price — 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — appears at the short application.
















City permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, the bond amount the City set, and an effective date. No financials, no credit section.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Valley City when you pull your right-of-way permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — enter the amount the City set; no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
