Arizona Street Opening Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and utilities opening, excavating, or working within an Arizona city right-of-way. Arizona municipalities require a right-of-way construction assurance (or a co-equal cash deposit, check, or letter of credit) as a permit condition; the obligee and amount are set by the specific city. Contractor licensing itself is statewide through the Registrar of Contractors, so the municipal bond covers right-of-way work, not licensing.
Obligee: Arizona municipal public-works / engineering departments (general-use right-of-way / excavation product). Citation: Arizona municipal right-of-way / street-opening / excavation ordinances and permit assurance requirements (multi-obligee).
