The City of Puyallup, in Pierce County, requires a right-of-way performance bond to guarantee work done in the public right of way — that the excavation, utility, or street work is completed to the City's standards. The bond is filed with the City's Public Works / Development & Permitting. Pricing is 2% 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 Puyallup. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A right-of-way performance bond is a completion guarantee. When you excavate, run a utility, or do street work in a Puyallup right of way, the City wants a financial backstop that the work gets finished to its standards and the right of way is restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Puyallup (the obligee). If the work is left incomplete or the right of way isn't restored and you don't make it right, the City can recover against the bond.
The bond stays in place until the City accepts the work. 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.
