What it is and who needs it.
What the City of Green ROW bond actually guarantees
The City of Green controls its public right-of-way — the streets, aprons, and surfaces the city maintains. Before anyone opens the road or builds an apron in that right-of-way, the city issues a right-of-way permit and conditions it on a surety bond. The Zoning Division takes the application.
The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee. It stands behind your obligation to do the road opening or apron work to city standards and to restore the right-of-way to the condition the City of Green requires. If you don't, the city can recover its restoration costs against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Green (the obligee). It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way properly treat the bond as a permit formality.
