About this bond

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, at a flat 3% with no credit check.

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

How much is the West Salem right-of-way bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by the Village of West Salem on your right-of-way permit — enter that figure and the quote updates.
Do I pay the full bond amount? +
No. You pay the 3% premium. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the village if you fail to restore the right-of-way — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check? +
No — this bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you restore the street, curb, and sidewalk you disturb to the Village of West Salem's standards and follow the permit conditions. If you don't and the village has to repair it, the village can claim against the bond.
What amount should I enter? +
Use the figure on your West Salem right-of-way permit. If the village clerk has not stated an amount yet, ask the village office for the required bond amount and we will issue it to match.
