The City of Tecumseh requires a $2,000 bond to pull a curb cut or street cut permit. Ours is $100 flat — issued instantly, the same for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to attach to your Tecumseh curb cut / street cut permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Cutting a curb or street in the City of Tecumseh disturbs the public right-of-way, and the City wants assurance you'll backfill and restore what you open. It conditions a curb cut / street cut permit on a $2,000 surety bond — a restoration-and-compliance guarantee standing behind your work in the right-of-way.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tecumseh (the obligee). If you fail to restore the curb or street 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.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information for this bond.
