The bond the City of Worthington requires before it issues a right-of-way permit to work in city streets, sidewalks, or rights-of-way. The city's Service & Engineering department sets the amount based on your work — pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. Your exact price appears at the application, which collects no credit information.
















No underwriting queue for a standard ROW permit bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, a description of the work in the right-of-way, the bond amount the city set, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, so most amounts issue as soon as you pay, no waiting. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application to Worthington's Service & Engineering department. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
When you open a cut, bore, or otherwise work in the City of Worthington's public right-of-way — streets, sidewalks, tree lawns, or utility strips — the city requires a permit and a surety bond before you start. The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to restore the right-of-way to city standards and to follow the permit conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Worthington (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way, leave a hazard, or abandon the work, the city can complete the restoration and recover its cost against the bond.
We issue the amount the city set on your permit. Pricing is 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information. If the city requires a specific bond form, send it to us and we issue on that form.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Worthington set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
