Ours is $150 flat — the price is the checkout price, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.

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.

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 $15,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
