The City of Denison requires a contractor to file a $10,000 right-of-way bond before working in its sidewalks, streets, alleys, easements, or other public ways — ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.
















A right-of-way permit bond is one of the simplest things in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application. No credit check.
Fixed-amount permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Denison right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Denison requires a $10,000 right-of-way bond before a contractor does construction, excavation, or other work in city sidewalks, boulevards, alleys, easements, or other public ways. It's a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your properly restoring any public surface you disturb to City standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Denison (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way and leave it unrestored or below standard, the City can repair it and recover its cost against the bond.
The bond must be held for the duration of the work and an additional period afterward, as the City requires. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
