Puyallup Right of Way Occupation Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone permitted to occupy Puyallup right-of-way WITHOUT disturbing it — staging, storage containers, scaffolding, lane or sidewalk closures, and construction occupancy where no excavation or cutting into city infrastructure occurs.

Obligee: City of Puyallup (City Engineer). Citation: Puyallup Municipal Code 11.05.070(1)(b) (right of way occupation bond).

Term & renewal
Term: Remains in full force until released in writing by the City, at the City Engineer’s discretion once the work is accepted and the permit is finaled and closed. There is no two-year maintenance tail — nothing was built, so nothing needs warranting.
Renewal: Per-permit. The surety may not cancel except on at least thirty days' prior written notice by certified mail.
