The City of Norton requires a $6,500 bond with the right-of-way permit when you make both a sewer and a water main connection in the city right of way. At 3% the math lands below our floor, so it’s $275 flat, and right-of-way bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















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 check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Right-of-way bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your right-of-way permit for the sewer and water main connections. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$6,500 bond × 3% = $195, which rounds up to our $275 minimum. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Norton controls its streets and rights of way, and conditions a permit to open the right of way for a combined sewer and water main connection on a $6,500 surety bond. The bond is a guarantee to the city that you’ll make both connections to municipal standards and restore the pavement and surface you disturb.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Norton (the obligee). If a contractor leaves the right of way improperly restored or damages the sewer, water main, or roadway, 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 connect cleanly and restore the right of way 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.
