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 B is for cutting into the public street. As a condition, the city requires a restoration guarantee that you patch and restore the cut so the pavement lasts.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Norfolk (the obligee). A bad street-cut patch fails early and costs the city — if you leave it below standard, the city can recover its cost against the bond.

The amount is set by the city for the scope of your cut, 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.

City of Norfolk — Public Works street-cut permit (Option B)The City of Norfolk requires this bond as a condition of an Option B street-cut permit (Norfolk City Code, administered by Public Works).

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Norfolk Option B street-cut bond?Pricing is 1% of the bond amount the City of Norfolk sets for the scope of your cut, with a $100 minimum; your exact price appears at the application.
What is Option B?Norfolk tiers its right-of-way permits by work type. Option B covers cutting into the public street. There are separate options for roadway / sidewalk (A), utilities (C), and driveways / tie-ins (D).
Do I pay the full bond amount?No. You pay the premium, from $100. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the city if the patch falls short — it is not a deposit.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at the standard amount, and most applications approve instantly. For larger bond amounts, a quick soft credit check may run — it's never a hard inquiry and never affects your score.
When can the city release the bond?After the cut is patched and the City of Norfolk has accepted the restoration. We track the bond and notify you ahead of any renewal.
