The City of San Antonio requires a $100,000 surety bond for a blanket right-of-way permit — the single bond that covers your ongoing work in the city right-of-way. Ours is $1,000 — 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.
















A blanket ROW bond is simple to issue — here's the whole process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit fields.
Larger fixed-amount permit bonds like this typically issue within 1–2 business days; some clear right after purchase.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of San Antonio's right-of-way / Public Works permit office. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A blanket right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of San Antonio that covers all of your ongoing ROW work under one permit — instead of bonding each permit separately. The city wants assurance that every street and right-of-way you touch is restored to standard.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of San Antonio (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored or damage the right-of-way on any covered job, the city can recover its restoration cost against the bond, up to $100,000.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the blanket permit. Let it lapse and the city can suspend the blanket permit, stopping all your covered work — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information for this bond.
