Provo excavation permit bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.

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.

About this bond

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.

Provo City — Public Works / Engineering (excavation permit)Provo City requires a surety bond as a condition of an excavation / pavement-cut permit in the public right-of-way; the amount is set by the city through its Public Works and engineering permit process, generally scaled to the scope of the work. Confirm the exact bond amount on your Provo City permit.
