What this bond does
This offering identifies Gilroy encroachment permit security for work affecting public streets or utility easements. The city's general conditions describe a performance bond for the work authorized by the permit and its conditions of approval.
- Who needs it
- A Gilroy encroachment permit applicant furnishing the security requested for the proposed work.
- Who it protects

Questions about this bond
Is $25,000 the amount for every Gilroy permit?
No. The general conditions attach that figure to a specific existing-pole replacement situation. The submittal guide describes estimate-based security for general applications. Confirm the amount for your work with Engineering.
Does a cash-deposit alternative create another checkout option?
No. The city's published alternative belongs to its permit process. This page retains one surety application route; any cash-deposit arrangement is made with the city.
Does the city's workmanship warranty establish this bond's term?
No fixed term is displayed here. Permit warranty and inspection duties do not by themselves establish the duration or release conditions of the issued bond.
