Salt Lake City ROW permit bonds.
$450. Five minutes.

Before Salt Lake City issues a permit to work in its right-of-way — the public streets, sidewalks, and parkways the city owns — it requires a $15,000 surety bond. Ours is $450 flat, exactly 3% of the bond amount, and the application takes about five minutes.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A right-of-way permit bond is a restoration and compliance guarantee. When you cut, excavate, or build in Salt Lake City's streets and sidewalks, the city wants assurance you will restore the right-of-way to standard and follow permit conditions.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Salt Lake City (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way and fail to repair it, or leave the work out of compliance, the city can recover against the bond up to $15,000.

The bond stays on file as a condition of your permit. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your $15,000 filing stays continuous and your permit privileges with the city never lapse over a missed renewal.

Salt Lake City — Engineering / Streets (right-of-way permit)Salt Lake City requires a surety bond as a condition of a right-of-way / public-way work permit; the $15,000 amount and bond conditions are set by the city through its Engineering Division and right-of-way permit process. Confirm the exact bond form and amount on your Salt Lake City permit application.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Salt Lake City right-of-way permit bond? +
The premium is $450 — a flat 3% of the fixed $15,000 bond amount, the same for every applicant. Salt Lake City sets the $15,000, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $15,000? +
No. You pay $450. The $15,000 is the surety's maximum liability if the city makes a valid claim against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Fixed-amount municipal bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many applicants finish and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond stays active as long as Salt Lake City requires it for your permit. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
