Before you open or cut a city street, the City of Spartanburg requires a street permit — conditioned on a fixed $10,000 bond that you will restore the pavement to city standards. Ours is $300 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount, the same for everyone. The application is five minutes, with no credit check on this bond.
















Street permit bonds are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Fixed-amount permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that 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 City of Spartanburg street permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Spartanburg owns its streets, and anyone who opens, cuts, or excavates in one needs a street permit. The City conditions that permit on a fixed $10,000 bond — a restoration-and-public-safety guarantee that you will put the street back the way you found it, to city standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Spartanburg (the obligee). If you damage the street and do not restore it — a failed patch, a sunken trench, an unsafe surface — the City can recover against the bond to make the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the street properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk. The amount is fixed at $10,000, so the price is fixed at $300, with no credit check.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
