About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Kenosha right-of-way permit bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every applicant. The $10,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants — often the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don't need one.
Who is the bond filed with? +
The obligee is the City of Kenosha. You file the executed bond with the City (Department of Public Works) before your right-of-way permit is issued.
