Seattle, WA — Street Use And Occupation Bond

Confirm the Seattle permit and exact security request behind this Street Use and Occupation offering. SDOT's city-form bond procedure for Street Improvement and Utility Major permits is specific; the offering name alone does not establish that it covers your use, occupation or construction work.

What this bond does

Helps an applicant match the existing Seattle street-use offering to the actual city-requested permit undertaking.

Who needs it
Applicants and permittees with a Seattle street-use or occupation security request that needs an exact instrument match.
Who it protects
The city-accepted bond defines the secured duties. SDOT's published construction-bond guide explains one process, but does not establish that this catalog offering satisfies every Seattle public-place use or ordinance.

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.

Identify the permit before selecting the instrument

SDOT distinguishes Street Improvement, Utility Major and other public-space permit activities. Obtain your permit number, legal permittee, affected location and exact bond request; do not treat construction, occupation and Council Term structures as interchangeable.

For SIP or Utility Major work, AG 1020 starts with an Engineer of Record cost estimate when plans are about 90% complete. After approval, the project manager supplies the specific city bond form. The guide says other forms are not accepted and its content must not be changed beyond execution information.

Follow the applicable review and original-filing sequence

For the SIP/Utility Major process, the guide directs a signed PDF to Sdotpermits@Seattle.gov with the project manager copied. City legal review comes before mailing or dropping off the original. It specifically says the bond need not be uploaded to the permit portal.

Use those instructions only where that process applies. The exact form and provider match for this Street Use and Occupation offering remain factual-check-pending; ask the responsible reviewer for the accepted instrument and any different filing requirements.

Confirm execution, then complete the permit

After the city and provider confirm the instrument, use the existing Propeller Purchase Now option with the correct principal, amount and dates. For AG 1020 cases, check legal-name consistency, signer authority, written/numeric amounts, acknowledgments and power-of-attorney dates before review.

The guide permits issuance only after original acceptance and all other requirements are met. A provider transaction does not authorize occupation, construction or a closure. Obtain the actual permit and confirm its inspection, continuation and release conditions.

Questions about this bond

Does this offering cover every Seattle street-use permit?

That is not verified. Confirm the actual permit and city-accepted instrument; the name alone is insufficient.

Can I send any surety form for SIP or Utility Major work?

AG 1020 says the project manager supplies the official form after estimate approval and that other forms are not accepted. Confirm that the provider can issue that exact instrument.

Should I mail the original before legal review?

For the AG 1020 process, the guide requires signed-PDF review and approval before delivery of the original. Ask the reviewer whether that process applies to your request.

Is a universal amount or annual term established here?

No. Obtain the accepted form, approved amount, coverage and release instructions for your actual permit and confirm this offering's match before issuance.
