About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way permit bond actually covers

When you excavate, cut, bore, or build a permanent structure in, over, or under a City of Cameron, TX street or right-of-way, the city requires a permit under its construction-activity ordinance. As a condition of that permit, the applicant must file proof of insurance or a bond, in the type and amount the director of financial services sets based on the size and type of the project.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Cameron (the obligee), with the city and the public protected. If you leave an excavation improperly backfilled, damage the right-of-way, or fail to comply with your permit conditions, the city can recover its cost against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the city sets starting from $100, with no credit review at all.

Cameron Code of Ordinances § 3.14.072–3.14.075The City of Cameron, TX requires a permit — and proof of insurance or a surety bond in the type and amount set by the director of financial services based on the size and type of the project — before excavation, construction activity, or a permanent structure is placed in a city street or right-of-way (Cameron Code of Ordinances §§ 3.14.072–3.14.075, Ordinance 2002-07-01-010).
