The City of Wausau requires a $3,000 bond from contractors doing concrete work — sidewalks, curb, gutter, driveway aprons — in the public right-of-way. Ours is $275 flat — 3% of $3,000 is $90, so the $275 minimum applies. The application is five minutes, with no credit check.
















Municipal right-of-way bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit check section.
Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Wausau Public Works / Engineering department for your right-of-way concrete work. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$3,000 bond × 3% = $90, but our minimum is $275 — so this bond is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Concrete work in Wausau's public right-of-way — sidewalk, curb, gutter, driveway aprons — requires City registration and a standing $3,000 bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee that your concrete work meets City standards and the right-of-way is properly restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wausau (the obligee). If your work is defective or the public way is left damaged, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour to spec and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a registration formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
