The City of Tulsa requires a $5,000 bond to temporarily close or occupy a street, lane, or sidewalk during construction — for staging, scaffolding, dumpsters, or lane closures. Three percent of $5,000 is $150 — below our minimum — so this bond is $275 flat.
















Municipal permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the whole process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit section on this bond.
Small fixed municipal bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Tulsa temporary street-use permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which is below our $275 minimum, so it is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price.
A City of Tulsa temporary use of streets bond is a compliance guarantee to the city. It backs your promise to occupy a street, lane, or sidewalk during construction safely — proper barricades and signage — and to repair any damage and clear the right-of-way when you're done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tulsa (the obligee). If a closure damages the street or violates the permit conditions, Tulsa can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow Tulsa's street-use permit conditions treat the bond as a routine formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
