The bond the City of Jersey Village requires before it issues a right-of-way permit — for any contractor excavating, boring, or working in the city streets, sidewalks, and easements. The city sets the amount; premiums are set at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. Your exact price appears at the application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the city required, a short description of the work, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, so most applicants are issued as soon as they pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review — if a check runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application to the city's Public Works department. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
The City of Jersey Village requires a surety bond before it issues a right-of-way permit — the permit a contractor pulls to excavate, bore, cut pavement, or otherwise work within the city's streets, sidewalks, and easements. The bond is a guarantee to the city that the right-of-way is restored to city standards after the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Jersey Village (the obligee). If you damage city infrastructure, fail to restore a cut, or leave the right-of-way out of compliance, 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 their cuts and follow the permit conditions treat the bond as routine.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Jersey Village set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
