About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

When you open the public right-of-way in the City of Panhandle — cutting pavement, trenching a utility, or working in a street or sidewalk easement — the city requires a surety bond as a condition of the permit. The bond guarantees you restore the right-of-way and follow the city's permit conditions.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Panhandle (the obligee). If you leave a defective patch, damage city property, or fail to restore the right-of-way, the city can recover its repair costs against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. At $1,000 the bond is small, the premium is $100 flat, and the application collects no credit information.
