What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
When you open pavement, install utilities, or build improvements inside the Town of Ashland's public right-of-way, the Town issues a right-of-way (or street-cut) permit — and conditions it on a surety bond. The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to put the street, sidewalk, curb, and landscaping back the way the Town requires once your work is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Ashland (the obligee). If you leave the right-of-way damaged, fail to complete restoration, or skip a required repair, the Town can recover against the bond to finish the work — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Because the bond backs a specific job, the Town sets the amount — typically the estimated cost to restore the right-of-way to its prior condition. Enter the figure on your permit, and we price and issue the bond on review.

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
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
