What it is and who needs it.
What the street permit bond actually guarantees
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. No credit check.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
