The City of Findlay Engineering Department issues permits for work in the public right-of-way — sidewalks, curb cuts, and street openings. For a single-address sidewalk and curb-cut permit, it requires a surety bond on file before the permit is issued.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Findlay (the obligee). It guarantees the sidewalk and curb-cut work is performed to city standards and that any damage to public infrastructure is repaired at no cost to the city — typically staying in force until the work passes final inspection.
It is not insurance for you. If the city draws on the bond because work was left incomplete or the right-of-way was not restored, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish clean and pass inspection treat the bond as a permit formality.
Submit the application with the bond amount Findlay Engineering set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
