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.

Ensure project compliance with city standards

The City of Phoenix requires a performance bond before granting permits for work in the public right-of-way, including cutting, removing, or building pavement, curbs, or pipelines. The bond guarantees that your project follows the specific plans approved by the Planning & Development Director.

Your obligation remains in force until you satisfy the city that all work meets local specifications. The bond incorporates provisions from Chapters 31, 32, and 32A of the Code of the City of Phoenix.

Prepare your bond application

When applying for the bond, you must provide the exact amount specified by the city and ensure the principal's legal name matches the permit. The surety must be licensed to do business in Arizona.

Maintain all permit documentation and inspection records throughout the life of the project. The city will release the obligation only after the work is completed and approved by the appropriate authorities.
