Questions about this bond
What bond amount does Abilene require?
The city's Engineering FAQ specifies a $1,000 Street Contractors Bond for the permit. Have your permit request handy when you apply so the bond names the correct applicant and the City of Abilene.
When should the bond expire?
Abilene says the bond must expire December 31 of the current year. Use that calendar-year end date when preparing your application, rather than assuming the bond runs for twelve months from the day you buy it.
Does the requirement apply to repairs as well as new work?
Yes. The city includes both new construction and repairs to sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and driveway approaches in the public right-of-way. Replacing an existing section can still require the bond and a permit.
