Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told by Fort Myers that you need a Right of Way Permit Bond before your permit will be issued — and that's exactly what this page is for. Any contractor, utility provider, developer, or service company planning to excavate, install infrastructure, repave, or perform any construction activity within Fort Myers city right-of-way falls into this requirement. This applies whether you're laying fiber, tapping a water line, replacing a driveway apron, or doing any work that touches a city street, curb, sidewalk, or public easement. If Fort Myers issued you a right-of-way permit application, this bond is your next step.
What is this Bond For?
This bond is a financial guarantee made to the City of Fort Myers that you will complete your permitted right-of-way work according to city standards and restore the affected area to the condition required by the permit. If you leave a trench open, damage city infrastructure, or fail to restore the surface properly, the city has a bonded remedy to recover the cost of making it right. It is not insurance for your crew — it is protection for Fort Myers and the public who use those streets and sidewalks. The bond holds you to your obligations under the permit from start to finish.
When is it Required?
Before your Fort Myers right-of-way permit is approved and issued, this bond must already be in place. The city will not authorize work in the public right-of-way without confirmed proof of bonding. Trying to start work before you have the bond — and the permit — exposes you to stop-work orders, fines, and liability. Get bonded now so there is no gap between your application and your permit approval.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies specifically within the City of Fort Myers, Florida, and satisfies the right-of-way permit bonding requirement enforced by the city. It is not a statewide Florida contractor license bond and does not substitute for any Lee County or state-level requirement. If your project spans multiple jurisdictions, each jurisdiction may have its own bonding requirement.
