About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A West Carrollton excavation permit bond is a guarantee to the City that you'll restore the street, sidewalk, or right-of-way you cut into back to City standards. Before the City lets anyone open the public way, it wants a financial backstop for the repair.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of West Carrollton (the obligee). If you leave a trench unrestored, damage pavement or utilities, or fail to meet the permit's restoration terms, the City can recover against the bond to make the repair.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill and repave to spec treat the bond as a permit formality. We keep your $5,000 filing continuous and notify you 60 and 30 days before renewal.

City of West Carrollton — excavation permitThe City of West Carrollton requires this bond as a condition of an excavation / street-opening permit in the public right-of-way; the $5,000 bond amount and terms are set by the City of West Carrollton's engineering/public works office. We do not cite a specific ordinance number here because the City's permit code is not published in a form we can verify — confirm the current requirement with West Carrollton Public Works.
