Beaverton right-of-way bonds.
From $125. Enter your amount.
Before you excavate, fill, tamper with pavement, or alter a street, sidewalk, curb, gutter, or utility inside a City of Beaverton right-of-way, Beaverton Code 9.05.020 requires a permit from the City Engineer, and BC 9.05.070 requires you to post security for performance — a bond or other security, in a form the City Attorney approves, satisfactory to the City Engineer. Premiums cost 1% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum, and the application includes a credit consent that authorizes a soft pull only.

What it is and who needs it.
What the Beaverton right-of-way bond actually guarantees
Beaverton's public rights-of-way — its streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and utility corridors — belong to the city and its residents. BC 9.05.020 bars anyone from performing work, development, excavation, or fill, or from altering streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, or utilities, or tampering with pavement inside a right-of-way, easement, or other city property without a permit from the City Engineer first.
The bond required by BC 9.05.070 is performance security: it names the City of Beaverton as obligee and backs your promise to complete the permitted work — driveway cuts, utility trenching, road boring, sidewalk repair, and similar private work in the right-of-way — the way the permit describes it, within the time the City Engineer sets, and to restore the public area to its original condition. If the work is left unfinished or the right-of-way is damaged and not repaired, the city can draw on the bond to complete or correct it.
The code sizes the security to the City Engineer's estimate of the cost of the development the permit governs — there is no single flat dollar figure across every permit. Once your work is substantially complete, a separate, smaller maintenance security may also apply. Enter the bond amount your permit requires; we price it from a $125 minimum after a one-time soft pull that never affects your credit score.
