What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
A right-of-way permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Trotwood. When you open or work in the public right-of-way, the city wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the street, sidewalk, or grass to its standards and follow the permit conditions.
Most right-of-way work — utility taps, driveway approaches, fiber and underground installs — touches infrastructure the city owns, so the bond stands behind your restoration if anything is left damaged.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Trotwood (the obligee). We issue the amount the city set, with premiums set at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

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 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.
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. Submit the executed bond to the City of Trotwood to satisfy your right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
