About this bond

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. The application collects no credit information.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the City of Spartanburg street permit bond?The premium is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, the same for every applicant. The $10,000 bond amount is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City if you fail to restore the street — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is this the same as the Spartanburg County excavation bond?No. This is the City of Spartanburg street permit bond, fixed at $10,000. Spartanburg County administers a separate $5,000 street-opening / excavation permit bond for work in county roads. Confirm which jurisdiction owns the street you are working in.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one price and issue on the details you enter.
When does it renew?You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term. The bond must stay active while your street permit is open; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
