Before you work in the public right-of-way in the City of Wilmington, Ohio, the City conditions the permit on a surety bond guaranteeing you restore the right-of-way. Pricing starts from $100 — describe the work, enter the amount the City requires, and your exact price appears at the application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way bond — describe the work, enter your amount, pay, and file. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, a description of the work being done, the bond amount the City required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, and most applicants are approved instantly as soon as you pay. If a check runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your score. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit before you start work. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
When you open a street, bore, or otherwise work in the public right-of-way in the City of Wilmington, Ohio, the City conditions the permit on a surety bond. The bond guarantees you restore the pavement, curb, sidewalk, and right-of-way to City standards and do not leave a hazard behind.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Wilmington (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way properly, the City can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, compact, and repave to spec treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
Describe the work and enter the bond amount the City required — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
