Chardon right-of-way bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
The City of Chardon requires a $5,000 bond before it issues a right-of-way permit to open, occupy, or work in the City streets and public right-of-way. Three percent of $5,000 is $150, under our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 flat. The application is five minutes.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When you open, cut, or occupy a public street, tree lawn, or sidewalk in the City of Chardon, the City conditions the right-of-way permit on a bond. The bond guarantees you'll restore the right-of-way to its prior condition — repave the cut, replace the curb, regrade the lawn — and follow the permit's conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Chardon (the obligee). If a permit holder leaves a defective patch, damages City property, or abandons a restoration, the City can recover against the bond to make the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City on a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill and restore properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
