What it is and who needs it.
What the Whitehouse bond guarantees
The Village of Whitehouse permits work in its public right-of-way — excavation, boring, trenching, and access work in village streets, sidewalks, and easements. It requires a surety bond before the permit is issued. Whitehouse has required contractors to register before receiving any permit since 2007, and the right-of-way bond is part of that permitting process.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Whitehouse (the obligee). It backs the restoration of the right-of-way and protects the village against the cost of repairing damage to public infrastructure left by your work.
It is not insurance for you. If the village draws on the bond to restore the right-of-way, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill and restore properly treat the bond as a permit formality.

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.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, October 8, in the year your term ends.
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

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 $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
