Before the City of Midvale issues a permit to excavate or work in its right-of-way, it requires a $5,000 surety bond. Ours is $175 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Permit bonds for a small city like Midvale are about as simple as surety gets. Here's the process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section.
Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with Midvale's permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A Midvale excavation / right-of-way permit bond is a restoration and compliance guarantee. When you open or work in the city's streets and sidewalks, the City of Midvale wants assurance you will restore the right-of-way and follow the conditions of your permit.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Midvale (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way and fail to repair it, the city can recover 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 stays continuous with the city's Public Works / engineering office.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
