About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way bond actually covers

A right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee. When a contractor cuts pavement, opens a sidewalk, or trenches in the public way, the City of Falls Church wants assurance that the street will be properly restored and that the City will not be left paying to fix substandard work.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Falls Church (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right of way or to meet the permit conditions, the City can recover its costs against the bond — and the surety then looks to you to be made whole.

The City sets the amount, usually tied to the scope of the work or the cost to restore the affected area. We issue that amount as a bond priced from $100, on the form the City of Falls Church requires — the application collects no credit information at the standard amount.
