Questions about this bond
How do I submit a permit request?
Permit requests must be submitted through the 901 Portal using the Accela platform.
Does the city's $25,000 project threshold set this bond amount?
No. Memphis' 2026 guide distinguishes ROW permits for work not exceeding $25,000 in construction costs from larger Standard Improvements Contracts. That threshold is not a verified bond sum.
Does the building permit approve the highway work?
No. Memphis expressly says the building permit does not authorize alterations or improvements to city-maintained ROW.
How do I purchase this offering?
Have RLI compare the actual recipient, highway permit or contract, required condition, sum and dates before using this offering. Return the executed security through the receiving office's instructions; purchase is not authorization.
