Minnesota Right-of-Way Bond

Under Minn. R. 7819.3000, a Minnesota local government can require a right-of-way user that restores its own excavation to post a construction performance bond. The bond covers the estimated cost of restoring the right-of-way, and the surety is released 24 months after proper restoration.

Permit bondSet by cities and counties

Minnesota Permit Bond

Minnesota has no statewide general permit bond. Cities and counties set their own; for example, local governments may require a construction performance bond with a right-of-way excavation permit (Minn. R. 7819.3000), and Minneapolis requires a $50,000 (Class A) or $10,000 (Class B) bond to license building wreckers.

Contract bondSet by the contract

Minnesota Supply Bond

No Minnesota statute requires a separate supply bond. Minn. Stat. § 574.26 requires performance and payment bonds on public works, and the payment bond protects material suppliers. A supply bond, when used, is set by the buyer in the contract.

Minnesota Stop Payment Notice Release Bond

Minnesota's mechanic's lien law (Minn. Stat. ch. 514) has no stop payment notice procedure, so this bond is not used. Instead, after a lien lawsuit starts, the court can release the property when the owner posts a bond or cash deposit under Minn. Stat. § 514.10.
