The City of Mesquite requires a $2,000 bond to construct sidewalks, curbs, gutters and driveway approaches in the public right-of-way. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. No credit check.
















Right-of-way flatwork bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application. No credit check.
Small fixed-amount bonds like this issue right after purchase.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Mesquite for your right-of-way or flatwork permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Mesquite conditions work in the public right-of-way — sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and driveway approaches — on a $2,000 surety bond. It is a public-infrastructure guarantee that your concrete flatwork meets the City's standards and that you restore the right-of-way properly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mesquite (the obligee). If your flatwork is defective or you damage adjacent public improvements, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour to spec and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a routine permit formality.
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 $2,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
