What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually guarantees
When you work in the public right-of-way in the Village of Fairport Harbor, Ohio, the Village conditions the permit on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond guarantees you restore the pavement, curb, sidewalk, and right-of-way to Village standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Village of Fairport Harbor (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way properly, the Village can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, compact, and repave to spec treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Village. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Fairport Harbor right-of-way permit before you start work. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
