Dayton sidewalk builder bonds.
$275 flat. Five minutes.
The City of Dayton requires a $3,000 sidewalk builder's bond before you construct sidewalks in the public right-of-way. At 3% of $3,000 that math is $90, so it lands at our $275 minimum — flat, the same for every builder. The application is five minutes, and registration bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Dayton requires anyone who builds sidewalks in the public right-of-way to register and post a $3,000 sidewalk builder's bond. The bond is a City-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Dayton's street, sidewalk, and right-of-way requirements.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dayton (the obligee). If your sidewalk work damages City property, leaves the right-of-way unsafe, or otherwise violates the City's requirements, the City can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The bond stays in force while your Dayton registration is active. Let it lapse and your registration is no longer in good standing — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $3,000 filing continuous.
