About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A City of Tulsa non-arterial right-of-way bond is a restoration and compliance guarantee to the city. It backs your promise that any cut, bore, or trench you make in a non-arterial (residential or collector) street is restored to Tulsa's standards.

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

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The non-arterial amount is lower than the arterial bond because these streets cost less to repair.

City of Tulsa — non-arterial right-of-way permittingThe City of Tulsa requires a right-of-way bond as a condition of working in a non-arterial street right-of-way, with a lower penal sum than the arterial bond. The $100,000 amount and the bond terms are set by the City of Tulsa's Engineering / Public Works departments; confirm the current requirement with the city before filing.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $100,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

E-sign & file with the City of Tulsa. Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file for your non-arterial right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $1,000 at the $100,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $100,000?No. You pay $1,000 — the flat price our carrier's rate book sets for this bond. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Tulsa, not a deposit.
How is this different from the arterial bond?Same purpose, lower amount. Non-arterial (residential / collector) streets cost less to repair, so the City of Tulsa sets a $100,000 penal sum here versus $250,000 for arterial right-of-way work.
What does the bond guarantee?That you restore any cut or excavation in a Tulsa non-arterial right-of-way to the city’s standards. If you fail to and the city repairs it, Tulsa can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check?No credit check: the application collects no credit information. Most applications approve instantly.
When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years. You’ll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your Tulsa ROW permit.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
