Work in a public street, sidewalk or highway usually needs an encroachment or right-of-way permit, and many agencies require a bond with it. The bond guarantees you'll follow the permit conditions and restore the right of way when you're done.

FAQs

Common questions.

Who requires a right-of-way bond in Arizona?

The agency that owns the road: the state transportation department for state highways, and the city or county for local streets. See the facts above.

Can one bond cover many permits?

Some agencies accept a blanket or annual bond that covers all your permits for the year. Ask the agency.

What does it cost?

You pay a premium, not the bond amount. The surety sets the premium after it reviews your application, usually as a percentage of the bond amount. We show you the terms before you commit.
