Beaverton street opening bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
Cutting, trenching, or otherwise opening pavement in a City of Beaverton street falls under the same right-of-way permit chapter as any other work in the right-of-way — Beaverton Code 9.05.020 requires a permit from the City Engineer, and BC 9.05.070 requires security for performance before the city lets you open the street. Premiums cost 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, and the application includes a credit consent that authorizes a soft pull only.

What it is and who needs it.
What the street opening bond actually guarantees
A street opening permit is Beaverton's term for the right-of-way permit issued specifically for cutting, trenching, or boring under a city street — the paving itself, not just the shoulder or sidewalk. It falls under the same Beaverton Code 9.05.020 permit requirement that governs all private work in a city right-of-way, and the same BC 9.05.070 security-for-performance rule applies.
Because opening a street disturbs the roadway surface itself, the City Engineer's cost estimate that sizes the bond typically reflects pavement restoration — patching, repaving, or full-width overlay — in addition to any utility work under the cut. The bond names the City of Beaverton as obligee and backs your promise to restore the pavement to city standards within the time the City Engineer sets.
If the restoration is left incomplete, or the patch fails and the city has to repair it, the city can draw on the bond to cover the cost. Enter the bond amount your street opening permit requires; we price it from a $100 minimum after a one-time soft pull that never affects your credit score.
