The right-of-way bond required before a contractor works in the streets, easements, and common areas controlled by the Orchard Lakes Estates Homeowners Association. The association sets the amount; premiums start at $100, priced at 1% of that bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way bond — enter your amount, pay, and deliver to the association. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount required, a short description of the work, and the effective date — that is the application.
No credit check up to $100,000, so most applicants are issued as soon as they pay.
Submit the executed bond to the Orchard Lakes Estates Homeowners Association (or its property manager) before starting work in the right-of-way. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
The Orchard Lakes Estates Homeowners Association controls the streets, easements, and common areas inside the community, and can require a surety bond before a contractor excavates, bores, or otherwise works in that right-of-way. The bond is a guarantee to the association that the right-of-way and common areas are restored to the association's standards after the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Orchard Lakes Estates Homeowners Association (the obligee). If you damage association infrastructure, fail to restore a cut, or leave the common area out of condition, the association can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the association, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their work and follow the association's conditions treat the bond as routine.
A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
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.
Deliver to the association. Submit the executed bond to the Orchard Lakes Estates Homeowners Association (or its property manager) before starting work in the right-of-way. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the association requires — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to deliver.
