About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Warrenton right-of-way bond actually guarantees

City of Warrenton Code Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places) governs activity on the city's public streets, sidewalks, and rights-of-way. In most cases, a permit from the city is required before that work can begin, and the permit is issued only to a duly licensed, bonded contractor holding a current City of Warrenton business license with proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance — a narrow exception lets a non-contractor property owner do minor work (capped in scope and depth) without one.

The bond backs your promise to perform the permitted work — excavation, restoration, or other street and right-of-way activity — according to the conditions the Public Works Department sets, and to restore any disturbed public area to a satisfactory condition. If the restoration isn't satisfactory and Public Works has to step in, the city can look to the bond (in addition to any separate cash security the permit may call for) to cover the cost.

Because Title 12 sets permit conditions case by case rather than one fixed citywide dollar figure, enter the bond amount your Public Works permit specifies; we price it from a $100 minimum after a one-time soft pull that never affects your credit score.
