What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A construction right-of-way bond is a restoration and completion guarantee to the City of DeSoto. When you build or excavate in the public right-of-way, the city wants assurance that the work is completed to standard and the right-of-way restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of DeSoto (the obligee). If you leave the right-of-way unrestored or the work fails to meet city standards, the city can recover its cost against the bond, up to the amount on your permit.
The bond must stay active while your permit is open. Let it lapse and the city can hold your permit — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration. The city sets the amount; pricing starts from $100, and no credit check up to $10,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the city. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of DeSoto's Public Works / right-of-way permit office. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
