About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way permit bond covers

The City of Oklahoma City requires a right-of-way permit bond from contractors and utilities who cut, bore, or excavate in the public right-of-way. The bond guarantees you restore the pavement, sidewalk, or parkway to the city's standards and leave the right-of-way safe.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Oklahoma City (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or damage public property, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the City of Oklahoma City set; premiums are 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum.

FAQ

Common questions.

How is the premium calculated?Pricing is 1% of the bond amount the City of Oklahoma City requires, with a $100 minimum. Your exact price appears at the application.
Do I pay the bond amount?No. You pay the premium. The bond amount is the city's maximum recovery if you fail to restore the right-of-way, not a deposit we hold.
What does the bond guarantee?That you restore any cut or excavation in the Oklahoma City right-of-way to the city’s standards and leave the street safe. If you fail to and the city repairs it, OKC can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information for most applicants on the standard ROW permit bond, and most issue instantly. Larger amounts may get a quick review; if a credit check ever runs, it's a soft pull that never affects your score.
When does it renew?These typically run annually or per-permit; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, and the bond stays in place for as long as the city requires it.
