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 — enter it and we issue at a flat 3%, $275 minimum, with no credit check on standard amounts.
















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.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. 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.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your Worthington permit and the premium updates.
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, at a flat 3% with a $275 minimum and no credit check on standard amounts. 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.
