Minneapolis, MN — Right Of Way Bond
Identify what your Minneapolis right-of-way request actually allows: excavation, a temporary obstruction or a privately owned structure in public space. The City's encroachment process concerns private structures and owner insurance; it does not establish that this bond replaces those documents or covers every kind of street work.

What this bond does

- Who needs it
- The named applicant responding to a Minneapolis ROW security request, with the property owner's and working contractor's roles identified separately.
- Who it protects
- The accepted bond defines the protected obligation. Permission to keep a private structure in the ROW, insurance liability and security for excavation or restoration are different matters.

Questions about this bond
Is an encroachment insurance endorsement the ROW bond?
No. The City's encroachment process separately requires owner insurance documents. Match this bond to an actual written surety request.
Does one encroachment permit authorize excavation and lane closures?
Do not assume that. Identify every proposed activity and obtain the City's applicable permissions and conditions.
Does paying through the provider grant the right to use City property?
No. Provider application and bond issuance do not replace the City decision, acceptance forms or other required documents.
