About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the excavation bond actually covers

The City of Laredo conditions an excavation or right-of-way permit on a surety bond. It's a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your properly backfilling, repaving, and restoring any street, sidewalk, or other public property you disturb while excavating in the right-of-way.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Laredo (the obligee). If you cut into a City street and leave it unrestored or below standard, the City can repair it and recover its cost against the bond.

The City of Laredo sets the bond amount through its Public Works department and permit ordinance. Enter that figure and pricing starts from $100 — your price is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

City of Laredo Public Works (excavation / ROW permit)The City of Laredo sets the excavation / right-of-way bond amount and conditions through its Public Works department and permit ordinance. Confirm the required amount on your permit application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Laredo excavation bond?Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The City of Laredo sets the bond amount on your permit; enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.
Do I pay the bond amount?No. You pay the premium, not the bond amount. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the City if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check?Most applicants qualify instantly. Larger bond amounts may get a quick review.
What does the bond protect against?It protects the City if you damage the right-of-way and don't restore it to standard. The City can repair the street and recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
What amount should I choose?Use the figure on your City of Laredo permit. If it is not stated, ask the Public Works / permitting office for the required amount and we will issue it.
