What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
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.

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 of Jersey Village. 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.
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 $100,000. 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.
