Provo excavation permit bonds.
From $100.
Before Provo City issues a permit to excavate or cut into its right-of-way, it requires a surety bond. Provo sets the amount by the scope of the work, so there is no single figure — the premium is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. Your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation bond actually covers
A Provo City excavation permit bond is a restoration guarantee. When you open Provo pavement to lay or repair utilities and then backfill, the city wants assurance you will restore the street and surface to its standards and not leave a failing patch.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Provo City (the obligee). If your excavation or restoration fails to meet permit conditions, the city can recover the cost of repair against the bond.
Because Provo sizes the bond by the scope of the work, there is no single statutory figure — enter whatever amount your permit names and we show you the exact premium: 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with Provo City. Submit the executed bond with your Provo City excavation permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
