About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A sidewalk, curb, gutter and driveway bond is a right-of-way construction guarantee. When you build or replace sidewalk, curb, gutter, or driveway aprons in the City of Massillon's right-of-way, the City wants assurance the work meets its specifications and that the public way is left safe.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Massillon (the obligee). If the work is defective or the right-of-way is left damaged, the City can recover the cost of correcting it against the $10,000 bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to the City's specs treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this one don't need one.
