What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Kenosha controls work that touches its public right of way — including the sidewalks and driveway approaches in front of a property. When an owner has sidewalk or driveway work done, Kenosha conditions the permit on a $2,000 performance bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kenosha (the obligee). If the work is left incomplete or out of spec, or it damages the right of way, the city can recover its cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Owners and contractors who finish the work to the city's spec treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

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 $2,000 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 your permit. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with Kenosha Public Works alongside your sidewalk or driveway permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
