What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

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
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
