What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually guarantees
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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $6,500 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City of Norton. 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.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $6,500 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
