The City of Round Rock requires a $5,000 bond for a right-of-way permit to work in city streets, sidewalks and easements. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — and the application collects no credit information.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no credit fields, no credit section.
Small fixed-amount bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Round Rock right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Round Rock conditions a right-of-way permit — to excavate, lay utilities, or work in city streets, sidewalks and easements — on a $5,000 surety bond. It is a public-infrastructure guarantee that you restore the right-of-way and follow the City's permit conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Round Rock (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or damage 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. Permittees who restore their cuts properly treat the bond as a routine condition of the permit.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond's application doesn't collect credit information.
