Kent single-job right-of-way bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
The City of Kent requires a surety bond for a single job in the city right-of-way — one permitted opening, crossing, or tie-in rather than an annual blanket bond. The bond backs restoring the right-of-way for that job; the City sets the amount, and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the single-job right-of-way bond covers
The City of Kent issues right-of-way permits for work in city streets, tree lawns, and sidewalks. For a contractor who only has one job — a single opening, crossing, or tie-in — the City offers a single-job right-of-way bond instead of an annual blanket bond, sized to that one job.
The bond is a restoration guarantee for that specific job: it backs your promise to backfill and compact the trench, repave or patch the surface, restore the curb, sidewalk, and tree lawn, and leave the right-of-way in as-good-or-better condition. If you leave a settled trench or a damaged surface, the City can recover against the bond.
It is a three-party guarantee — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kent (the obligee). It is not insurance for you; if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
