Before you open a street or work in the public right-of-way in the City of Greenville, Ohio, the City conditions the permit on a surety bond guaranteeing you restore the right-of-way. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum — enter your amount and see the exact premium instantly. (The original bond is mailed to you to sign and file.)
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way bond — enter your amount, describe the work, and pay. The original is mailed to you to sign. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, a description of the work in the right-of-way, the bond amount the City required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, and most applicants are approved instantly as soon as you pay. If a check runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your score. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
The original bond is mailed to the address you provide. The Principal (you) signs it, then files it with the City of Greenville before starting work.
When you open a street, bore, or otherwise work in the public right-of-way in the City of Greenville, Ohio, the City conditions the permit on a surety bond. The bond guarantees you restore the pavement, curb, sidewalk, and right-of-way to City standards and do not leave a hazard behind.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Greenville (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way properly, the City 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.
Describe the work and enter the bond amount the City required — the executed bond is generated instantly and the original is mailed for your signature.
