The City of Maumee requires a $7,500 bond from contractors who build or replace sidewalks, driveways, and approaches in the city's right-of-way. The price is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond — and the application is five minutes.
















Municipal right-of-way bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Maumee for your sidewalk and driveway registration or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Maumee conditions sidewalk, driveway, and approach work in its right-of-way on a $7,500 surety bond. Because this concrete work sits in the public right-of-way and ties into city infrastructure, the bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee: it stands behind your work meeting the city's construction standards and being restored properly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Maumee (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a contractor builds defective sidewalk or driveway, damages the right-of-way, or fails to restore it, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour to spec and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a registration formality, and we keep your $7,500 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond doesn't need it.
