Alpine excavation permit bonds.
$275. Five minutes.

Before the City of Alpine issues a permit to excavate or cut into its right-of-way, it requires a $5,000 surety bond. A flat 3% of $5,000 is $150 — below our $275 minimum — so the price is $275 flat, and the application takes about five minutes.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An Alpine excavation permit bond is a restoration guarantee. When you open City of Alpine pavement and backfill a cut, the city wants assurance you will restore the street and surface to its standards and not leave a failing patch behind.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Alpine (the obligee). If your excavation or restoration fails to meet permit conditions, the city can recover the cost of repair against the bond up to $5,000.

The bond stays on file as a condition of your permit. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your $5,000 filing — and your right to pull excavation permits in the city — stays continuous.

City of Alpine — Public Works (excavation permit)The City of Alpine requires a surety bond as a condition of an excavation / pavement-cut permit in the public right-of-way; the $5,000 amount and restoration conditions are set by the city through its Public Works and permitting process. Confirm the exact bond form and amount on your City of Alpine permit application.
