The City of Trotwood requires a surety bond for work in the public right-of-way before it will issue a right-of-way permit. The city sets the amount, and the premium is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, shown exactly at the application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the city required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No waiting for most applicants — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. If a quick soft credit check runs, it never affects your score. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond to the City of Trotwood to satisfy your right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the city set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
