A Right of Way Contractor Bond is a type of surety bond required by the City of Fort Collins for contractors working in public right-of-ways. It guarantees that the contractor will comply with city regulations and properly restore public property after completing their work. The bond protects the municipality from financial loss caused by substandard workmanship or abandoned projects.

Who needs it?

Anyone applying for a right-of-way permit or license in the city may be subject to this requirement. Always check with the local engineering or permitting department to confirm if your business needs this bond.

Why is it required?
