Term & renewal
Term: Held until permit acceptance by the offsite inspector and submittal of any required as-built plans, then released.

Filing
Filed with the City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department before your right-of-way construction permit is released. Phoenix accepts several assurance instruments — a surety bond, cash or check, or a letter of credit — in an amount equal to the cost of the work in the right-of-way, so the bond is listed and the exact amount is confirmed when you apply. It is released once the offsite inspector accepts the work and any as-built plans are submitted. Authority: Phoenix City Code Chapters 31 and 32 and § 142.
