What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
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, with pricing that starts at $100 and no credit check up to $100,000 in the application.

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 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.
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 Village of West Salem. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application at the West Salem village office. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the village insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
