- Who needs it
- The legal applicant required to provide Hobart ROW security, coordinated with the contractor separately identified in the Engineering application.

Questions about this bond
Is the bond automatically $500?
The posted ROW application cites a $500 minimum but leaves the actual required bond amount for City staff. Obtain Engineering's current project-specific sum and accepted instrument rather than assuming the minimum is the assigned amount.
Where does the City currently accept Engineering permit requests?
The current Engineering Permit Applications page directs requests through OpenGov, which replaces traditional application paperwork. Its permit profile is not merely the City's website account for notifications.
Does an OpenGov submission prove the bond is filed?
Do not assume that. The posted ROW form says the bond must be filed with the Clerk-Treasurer before work. Confirm current delivery with Engineering and that office separately from online application submission and actual permit approval.
