What is this bond?

The City of Akron Right of Way Permit Bond is a financial guarantee required for contractors performing work on or near public streets, sidewalks, and municipal properties. It guarantees that the permittee will follow local regulations and safely restore the public right-of-way to its original condition after construction. If the contractor causes damage or abandons the project, the bond provides funds to the city for repairs.

Who needs it?

Construction contractors, utility companies, and developers planning to excavate, block, or alter public roads and sidewalks in Akron typically need this bond. Any individual or business applying for a right-of-way permit from the city must secure this coverage before beginning their project. Requirements vary based on the project scope, so contractors should verify their specific needs directly with the City of Akron.

Why is it required?

The City of Akron requires this bond to protect public infrastructure and taxpayer funds from incomplete or substandard contractor work. It ensures that if a contractor damages municipal property or fails to properly fill an excavation, the city has a financial recourse to repair the site. This helps maintain the safety and functionality of Akron's public roads and walkways.
