About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

When a contractor opens pavement or works in the public right-of-way in Blue Ash, the City requires a street-opening bond through its Public Works department. The bond stands behind your permit: that you restore the street, sidewalk, or utility cut 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 Blue Ash (the obligee). If you damage city property and fail to repair it, or leave a restoration unfinished, the City can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts and pass inspection treat the bond as a permit formality. The $3,000 amount is set by the City for non-arterial streets; main arterial streets carry a higher amount.

City of Blue Ash — Public Works (right-of-way permit)The City of Blue Ash requires a street-opening / work-in-right-of-way bond as a condition of its right-of-way permit, administered by Blue Ash Public Works. The bond amount is set by the City — $3,000 for all other (non-arterial) city streets, and a higher amount for main arterial streets. Confirm the applicable amount on your permit application.
