Questions about this bond
Can one bond cover more than one Salt Lake City permit?
The city's standard form is continuous and covers multiple permits subject to its aggregate limit. A one-address or one-permit restriction may be recorded through Exhibit A; confirm the intended scope with Engineering and the provider.
When does the three-year warranty start?
The city's packet measures it from acceptance of the work by its Engineering Inspector. Do not substitute the bond purchase date or your own completion date.
Will a generic contractor-license bond work?
Salt Lake City expressly requires its own public-way bond form. Check that the provider issues that form for the correct legal permittee and any accepted limitation.
What happens after provider issuance?
Submit the bond with the required insurance for city approval and complete the separate permit application. Work requires the issued permit and advance inspector notice.
