City of Brier right of way
performance bonds.

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.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.
