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 the application collects no credit information.
