About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the ROW permit bond actually covers

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.
