What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
When you open, cut, bore, or excavate in the City of Montgomery's public right-of-way — for a utility connection, driveway approach, or street cut — the city issues a right-of-way permit and conditions it on a surety bond. The bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee: it stands behind you restoring the street, curb, and right-of-way to the city's standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Montgomery (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a permittee damages the right-of-way, leaves a defective restoration, or fails to backfill and repave properly, the city can recover against the bond.
Because the amount is set per permit by the scope of work, there is no single statutory figure — you enter whatever the City of Montgomery named on your permit, and we price the bond from $100 based on that amount, with no credit fields in the application.
