About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Akron construction & removal bond covers

The City of Akron controls work in its public right-of-way — the streets, sidewalks, tree lawns, and underground space the city owns. Before you open a street, set a dumpster, occupy a lane, or remove material, the City requires a construction and removal bond tied to your permit.

The bond runs to the City of Akron as obligee. It guarantees you will restore the right-of-way to the City's standard and won't leave the public to pay for damage, an unfilled cut, or an abandoned job. If you fail to restore, the City can recover its repair cost against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore cleanly and close out their permits treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the City set; pricing is 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum.
