The Village of West Salem owns and maintains its streets, curbs, gutters, and public sidewalks. Before a contractor or property owner opens that right-of-way — for a utility tap, a driveway approach, a sidewalk replacement, or any excavation — the village conditions the permit on a surety bond.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of West Salem (the obligee). It backs your obligation to restore the street and sidewalk to the village's standards and to follow the conditions of the permit — so the village isn't left repairing a sunken trench or a broken curb at public expense.
If you fail to restore the right-of-way properly, the village can recover its repair costs against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who patch and compact to spec treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount West Salem set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Village of West Salem set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
