About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

City of Fairborn — Public Works / Right of WayThe City of Fairborn requires a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of its right-of-way contractor registration; contractors register with the city to work in the public right-of-way, and the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Fairborn Public Works / Engineering Division (Development Services, (937) 754-3050). Confirm current requirements with the city before filing.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Fairborn right-of-way bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 is the amount the City of Fairborn requires, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Fairborn if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount right-of-way bonds like this one don't need one.
Where do I file it? +
With the City of Fairborn Development Services / Public Works as part of your right-of-way contractor registration. We issue the executed bond and power of attorney ready to submit.
