What this bond does

Provide accepted security for the identified Memphis right-of-way permit undertaking.

Who needs it
Owners/developers or contractors named in a Memphis ROW work request.
Who it protects
The accepted bond determines the secured city-work duties. The city’s construction-cost classification, permit approval and bond release are separate questions.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Check the $25,000 construction-cost boundary

The September 2026 standards describe a ROW permit for city ROW/easement work not exceeding $25,000 in construction costs. Above that, a Standard Improvements Contract with Council approval is required.

That boundary is not a bond amount. Identify the road/easement, scope and cost with Land Development and get its actual requested condition, principal and sum.

Prepare the plans and work authorization

The city requires online Accela submissions and identifies separate curb-cut, minor-sidewalk and residential-driveway routes. Have the city identify the applicable process rather than using a general building permit for ROW alterations.

The standards require temporary traffic-control planning for roadway and sidewalk work. Describe traffic/pedestrian effects and obtain approvals along with the actual permit; a security purchase does not authorize a lane closure.

Match the condition and retain closeout records

Have the provider compare this ROW Permit offering with the city’s required condition, applicant, recipient, sum and dates before purchase. Complete execution and submit security through the receiving office’s instructions.

For developer-bond release, the standards require a fully passed final inspection and completion of as-built review with revised mylars returned to Land Development. Contract projects have additional Council action. Confirm the actual closeout rather than assuming a fixed term ends the obligation.

Sources

  3. Execution/submission and inspection/as-built/release instructions for the actual request.

Questions about this bond

Is $25,000 the verified bond amount?

No. In the cited guide it is the ROW-permit versus improvement-contract construction-cost boundary. Obtain the assigned bond sum.

Does the building permit authorize city ROW alterations?

No. The standards expressly distinguish the ROW authorization.

Is finishing construction enough for developer-bond release?

No. The city describes final inspection and as-built review/returned mylars, plus Council action for contract projects.
