What this bond does
The bond serves as a financial guarantee that the permitted work will be completed in accordance with the Lebanon Standards and Details and Specifications. It protects the city from costs associated with improper restoration or failure to maintain safe conditions during and after the project.
- Who needs it
- Contractors, utility companies, or excavators who perform work, including trenching, boring, or street cuts, within the city of Lebanon's public right-of-way.
- Who it protects
- The security addresses City restoration/safety obligations. The posted packet prohibits release before three years after completion and without written City acceptance; applicant damage duties do not establish unlimited surety protection.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
What is the required bond amount for this permit?
The posted City packet describes a $5,000 bond. Confirm the actual City request for your work rather than treating a partly completed example as your assigned document or a universal Code amount.
How long does the city hold the bond after work is finished?
The packet prohibits release before three years after completion and also requires written City acceptance. That is not automatic release at three years or a confirmed provider term.
Does this bond cover private property damage?
The packet assigns broad damage responsibility to the applicant. That does not establish that the surety covers every private-property claim; the accepted bond defines its liability.
Can I start work immediately after getting the bond?
No. You must submit the permit application, receive approval, and provide 48-hour notice to the City Engineer before commencing any work.
