About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Norfolk requires a permit before anyone works in the public right-of-way, tiered by work type. Option D is for installing a driveway or tie-in to a city street. As a condition, the city requires a performance-and-restoration guarantee that the entrance is built and the right-of-way restored to city standard.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Norfolk (the obligee). A bad apron or tie-in damages the street edge and drainage — if it is left below standard, the city can recover its cost against the bond.

The amount is set by the city for the scope of your work, not a flat schedule. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. We issue whatever amount the city set; pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information at the standard amount.
