What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond guarantees
The City of Carrollton owns the public right of way along its streets — where pavement, sidewalks, water mains, and drainage sit. Before it lets a contractor cut, bore, or build in that right of way, the city requires a bond as a condition of the permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Carrollton (the obligee). The bond guarantees you will restore the street and right of way to city standards and follow the permit conditions.
It is not insurance for you. If the city draws on the bond to repair work you left undone, you repay the surety. Contractors who patch, repave, and close out cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality.
