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 Snohomish 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 Snohomish (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 amount is set by the City on your permit, sized to the scope and location of your work. You enter that number; your price is calculated from it, starting from $100.
