The City of Battle Ground, Washington requires a right-of-way permit bond before it lets you cut, excavate, or work within a City street or right-of-way. Pricing is 0.775% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price depends on the permit amount and appears at the end of the short application.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are simple. Here's the whole process:
Enter the bond amount from your Battle Ground permit, your business details, and an effective date.
Most right-of-way bonds at typical permit amounts issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Battle Ground for your right-of-way permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A right-of-way permit bond is a restoration guarantee. When you open a Battle Ground street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll restore it to City standards and won't leave a hazard.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Battle Ground (the obligee). If you damage City property and don't fix it, or abandon the work, the City can recover its repair cost against the bond — and you repay the surety.
The amount is set by the City on your permit, sized to the scope and location of your work. You enter that number; pricing starts from $100 and your exact price is shown once you complete the application.
These are the actual issuing fields. The application collects no credit information at the standard amount for this bond.
