The City of Red Bank requires a $5,000 surety bond for a single-job right-of-way or excavation permit — the City's Public Works department wants a guarantee you'll restore the street, sidewalk, or right-of-way you disturb. Ours is $275 flat; 3% of $5,000 is below our minimum, so you pay the minimum.
















Single-job ROW bonds are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Small ROW bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Red Bank right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which is below our $275 minimum — so the price is $275, one-time per term. Multi-year if you want it.
A City of Red Bank single-job right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee. When you cut into, excavate, or otherwise disturb a City street, sidewalk, or right-of-way for a single job, the City wants a $5,000 backstop that you'll repair it to the City's standard and won't leave a hazard or a sunken patch behind.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Red Bank (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or your work creates damage the City has to fix, 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 permit and restore the surface cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
