The City of Kenosha requires a $10,000 bond as a condition of its right-of-way / street-opening permit. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and the application takes about five minutes.
















Municipal permit bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the whole process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit check section on this bond.
Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Kenosha before your permit is issued. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A right-of-way permit bond is a restoration guarantee. When you cut, bore, or excavate in a City of Kenosha street, terrace, or right-of-way, the bond promises the City that you'll backfill, repave, and restore the surface to its prior condition.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kenosha (the obligee). If you leave the right-of-way damaged or unrestored, the City can recover its repair costs against the bond.
The bond must stay active while your permit is open. If you hold an annual permit, we track the bond and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
