Haltom City requires a $20,000 bond before you work in its public streets, alleys, and thoroughfares. Ours is $200 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, identical for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.
















Right-of-way bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application. No credit check.
Right-of-way bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with Haltom City before you work in the public right-of-way. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Haltom City controls work in its public streets, alleys, and thoroughfares, and conditions a permit on a $20,000 surety bond. It is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: that you 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 Haltom City (the obligee). If you damage public infrastructure, leave street or alley work 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.
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 $20,000 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 $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
