The City of Tyler requires a contractor doing sidewalk, curb, and driveway work in the public right-of-way to file a $5,000 surety bond. Ours is $100 flat — 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.
















City right-of-way bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed city bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Tyler sidewalk, curb, and driveway registration or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A City of Tyler sidewalk, curb, and driveway bond is a right-of-way protection guarantee. It stands behind your promise to build and repair sidewalks, curbs, and driveway approaches in line with the City of Tyler's construction standards, and to leave the public right-of-way in good condition.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tyler (the obligee), with the city and its residents as the protected parties. If your work damages city infrastructure or fails to meet the city's standards and must be corrected, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your Tyler registration stays backed.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
