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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City. 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.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
