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 Covington 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 Covington (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 bond must stay active while your permit is open. It renews on its term, and we send notices 60 and 30 days out so your permit never lapses over a missed renewal.
