Mayfield Village requires a $1,000 bond before it issues a right-of-way permit to open, occupy, or work in the Village streets and public right-of-way. Three percent of $1,000 is $30, well under our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 flat. The application is five minutes.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the whole process:
Your business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small 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 your right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$1,000 bond × 3% = $30, which is under our $275 minimum — so $275 flat, one-time per term, multi-year if you want it.
When you open, cut, or occupy a public street, tree lawn, or sidewalk in Mayfield Village, the Village conditions the right-of-way permit on a bond. The bond guarantees you'll restore the right-of-way to its prior condition — repave the cut, replace the curb, regrade the lawn — and follow the permit's conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and Mayfield Village (the obligee). If a permit holder leaves a defective patch, damages Village property, or abandons a restoration, the Village can recover against the bond to make the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the Village on a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill and restore properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
