What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
A right-of-way permit bond is a restoration and performance guarantee. When you cut into a Renton street, sidewalk, or utility strip, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the public right-of-way to City standards and won't leave a hazard behind.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Renton (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or violate the permit conditions, the City can recover its costs against the bond.
The bond stands behind your permit for as long as the City requires. We issue the amount the City set, pricing from $100 with no credit information collected on the application, ready to file with the City of Renton.
