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 $100 flat, issued instantly, the same for everyone. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Street permit bonds are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit fields to fill in, 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.
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, and the price you see is the checkout price: $100 flat. The application collects no credit information.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit fields, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
