What is this bond?

A Milwaukee Sidewalk Area Dining Facility Bond is a type of municipal surety bond that guarantees a business will safely and legally operate an outdoor dining space on a public right-of-way. It provides a financial guarantee to the city that the establishment will follow local ordinances and repair any damage caused to the public sidewalk.

Who needs it?

Restaurant owners, cafes, and other food service establishments planning to set up tables or seating on public sidewalks in Milwaukee typically need this bond. The local permitting office requires it as part of the approval process for an outdoor dining right-of-way permit.

Why is it required?

The City of Milwaukee requires this bond to protect public infrastructure and ensure pedestrians can safely navigate shared spaces.
