Huber Heights right-of-way bonds.
$250 flat.
Before a contractor opens a cut in a Huber Heights street, sidewalk, or utility right-of-way, the City requires a $25,000 surety bond guaranteeing the work is restored to standard. Ours is $250 flat — the price our carrier sets for this bond. A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry — and it's e-signed in 1–2 business days.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Huber Heights conditions its right-of-way permit — the permit that lets a contractor dig, cut, or otherwise disturb a public street, sidewalk, or utility easement — on a $25,000 surety bond. The bond is a restoration guarantee: the City can hold the permit open, and the bond in place, until the disturbed public property has been restored and has stood up to a period of everyday use.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Huber Heights (the obligee). If a permittee fails to restore the street or sidewalk to City standard, or damages public infrastructure during the work, the City can draw on the bond to complete the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts properly and pass the City's post-work inspection treat this bond as a routine part of pulling the permit, not a real exposure.
