The City of Killeen requires a $2,000 right-of-way permit bond before you work in a City street, sidewalk, or right-of-way. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small municipal permit bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Killeen right-of-way permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A right-of-way permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Killeen. When you work in a City street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the area to City standards and stand behind that repair.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Killeen (the obligee). If your restoration fails or you damage public property and don't fix it, the City can repair it and recover its cost against the bond up to $2,000.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way properly treat the bond as a permit formality, and we keep the filing continuous with renewal reminders.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
