The City of Fairborn requires a $10,000 right-of-way bond from contractors who register to work in its public right-of-way, easements, and streets. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — with no credit check, e-signed and ready to file with Fairborn Public Works.
















Right-of-way bonds are among the simplest in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Fairborn Development Services / Public Works as part of your right-of-way registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Fairborn registers contractors who work in its public right-of-way — the streets, easements, and rights-of-way the city maintains — and conditions that registration on a $10,000 surety bond filed with Public Works.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fairborn (the obligee). If your work damages city pavement, utilities, or the right-of-way and you don't restore it, the city can recover against the bond — the bond guarantees you'll restore the right-of-way and follow Fairborn's construction standards.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way and follow the city's specifications treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We track the term and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
