About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A City of Goodlettsville right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee. When you cut, bore, or excavate within a City street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, the City wants a $10,000 backstop that you'll repair it to the City's standard and won't leave a hazard or a failing patch behind.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Goodlettsville (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or your work causes damage the City has to repair, the City can recover its costs against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who close out their permits and restore the surface cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
