Stow right-of-way permit bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
The City of Stow requires a $5,000 bond to pull a right-of-way permit and work in its public right-of-way and streets. Because 3% of $5,000 is below our floor, the price is $275 flat — our minimum — with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Stow conditions a right-of-way permit — to open, occupy, or work in the city's streets and rights-of-way — on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Stow (the obligee). If your work damages city pavement, utilities, or the right-of-way and you don't restore it, the city can recover against the bond — it guarantees you'll restore the right-of-way and follow Stow's permit conditions.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way and follow the permit treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk. We track the term and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
