Peoria, IL — Right Of Way Bond
Peoria distinguishes contractors disturbing the ROW surface from owners doing their own adjacent-property work. Its contractor permit application gives the owner-work bond a $10,000 amount; do not automatically use that figure or form for every contractor or general encroachment.

Questions about this bond
Is the contractor bond automatically $10,000?
The posted application expressly gives that amount for owner-performed work adjacent to the owner's property. Contractors disturbing the surface must have a current City license and bond, but that paragraph does not establish their bond amount or form.
Does a general encroachment agreement prove this bond is required?
No. The general-use guidance addresses maintenance and possible removal of an encroachment. Have Public Works identify the applicable activity and actual security request.
Does proof of bond complete the work permit?
No. The application distinguishes bond records from work/closure approval and permit validation. Follow the actual City instructions for each step.
