Salt Lake City ROW permit bonds.
$150 flat.

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 $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 review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

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.
