Filing
Filed with the City of Olympia for a permit to obstruct a street, sidewalk, alley, or other public place. The permit issuer may set the amount, and the code lets you deliver a comprehensive general liability policy in place of the bond entirely — so the bond is listed here and the requirement is confirmed when your permit is issued. Because most contractors already carry the liability coverage, this bond is often satisfied without a surety at all. It secures removal of the obstruction and restoration of the public place when the permit ends. Authority is Olympia Municipal Code 12.24.110 and 12.24.120.
