About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

Denison Code Chapter 21, § 21-190 (right-of-way management)The City of Denison's right-of-way bond conditions and restoration standards are set out in Chapter 21 (Streets, Sidewalks, and Right-of-Way Management) of the City Code; § 21-190 requires a performance/assurance bond before a right-of-way permit issues. Confirm current terms with the City when you file.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Denison right-of-way bond?The premium is $100, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 bond amount is set by the City, and the $100 price is set by our carrier's rate book for this bond — there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How long must I hold the bond?A Denison right-of-way bond must be held for the duration of the work and an additional period afterward, as the City requires. We send renewal notices so your filing stays continuous while the requirement runs.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.
Is there a smaller sidewalk-only bond?Denison uses a $10,000 right-of-way bond for general right-of-way work; some sidewalk-only work uses a smaller contractor bond. This page is for the $10,000 right-of-way bond — if your permit calls for a different amount, send it to us and we will issue it.
