About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An Oregon sidewalk and driveway contractor bond is a right-of-way protection guarantee to the City. It stands behind your promise to build sidewalks, driveway approaches, and curb work to the City of Oregon’s standards and to restore the public right-of-way you disturb.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Oregon (the obligee). If you violate the city's sidewalk, driveway, or right-of-way requirements and the city is harmed, it can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to standard and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
