The City of Colleyville requires a $2,500 bond before it issues an excavation permit to dig in the public right-of-way. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Excavation permit bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no credit section, no financials, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Colleyville for your excavation permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Colleyville controls excavation in its streets, alleys, and rights-of-way, and conditions an excavation permit on a $2,500 surety bond. It is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: that you backfill and restore the right-of-way to city standards and follow the permit's terms.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Colleyville (the obligee). If you damage public infrastructure, leave an excavation unrestored, or violate the permit, the city can recover 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 and follow the permit treat the bond as a routine permit formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond doesn't need it.
