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 review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Right-of-way bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no credit section, no financials, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Right-of-way bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond doesn't need it.
