What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
A right-of-way bond is a public-property guarantee. When you open or work in the City of Hudson's right-of-way — for a utility line, a tap, or a driveway cut — the city wants a financial backstop that the street, curb, and public infrastructure are restored properly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hudson (the obligee). If you leave the right-of-way damaged, fail to restore the pavement, or violate the permit terms, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the city sizes the bond to the work, you enter the amount your permit names and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
