The City of Brier, in Snohomish County, requires a right-of-way performance and maintenance bond for work in the public right of way — it guarantees both that the work is completed and that it holds up through the City's maintenance period. The bond is filed with the City's Public Works department. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, and this bond uses a soft credit pull only, which never shows as a hard inquiry and does not affect your score.
















Right-of-way performance bonds move quickly. Here's the process:
Business details, the bond amount the City requires, and an effective date. The form includes a short credit-authorization checkbox — a soft pull only.
We run a soft credit check to confirm your rate — no hard inquiry, no score impact. Then you pay and e-sign.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Brier. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A right-of-way performance and maintenance bond is a two-stage guarantee. First it backs that you'll complete the right-of-way work to the City's standards; then, through the maintenance period, it backs that the work holds up — that a trench restoration or a street patch doesn't fail a few months later.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Brier (the obligee). If the work is left incomplete or fails during the maintenance period and you don't make it right, the City can recover against the bond.
The bond stays in place through completion and the City's maintenance period. We track expirations and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your obligation to the City stays covered.
These are the actual issuing fields, including the short credit-authorization checkbox. The pull is soft — it never shows as a hard inquiry.
