About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Canal Winchester right-of-way bond covers

The City of Canal Winchester owns the streets, sidewalks, and drive approaches in town. When a contractor or property owner works in that public right-of-way — pouring a sidewalk, cutting a curb, or opening a drive approach — the City conditions the permit on a surety bond so the public space is put back the way it was found.

It is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Canal Winchester (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way and fail to restore it, or your sidewalk / approach work fails the City's standard, the City can recover its cost against the bond.

This is not insurance for you. If the City makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to spec and pass the City's final inspection treat the bond as a permit formality.
