About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

When you cut, dig, or open the City of Perry's streets and rights-of-way, the City wants assurance you'll backfill, restore, and repair what you disturb. It conditions an excavation permit on a $5,000 surety bond — a restoration-and-compliance guarantee standing behind your work in the public right-of-way.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Perry (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or leave damage to City property, the City can recover against the bond to make repairs.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their work sites and follow the City's permit conditions treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Perry excavation permit bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum, since 3% of the $5,000 bond amount ($150) falls below it. Same price for everyone, no quote process.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your permit standing never lapses over a missed email.
