Jacksonville, FL Barricade Bond
Overview
Jacksonville requires contractors and companies to post a Barricade Bond before placing barricades, signs, or temporary traffic control devices in city right-of-way. This bond protects the City of Jacksonville and the public against losses caused by improper or negligent barricade placement. It guarantees that work in the public right-of-way is conducted safely and that the city is made whole if something goes wrong.
Who Needs This Bond?
Utility contractors, road construction crews, and event or film production companies that need to temporarily block or restrict public streets in Jacksonville are the most common applicants. Any business or individual who pulls a permit to place barricades within city right-of-way will likely be required to secure this bond. If Jacksonville's Public Works or permitting office told you a barricade bond is required before they'll approve your work, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond serves as a financial guarantee that the bonded party will properly install, maintain, and remove barricades and temporary traffic control equipment in Jacksonville's public right-of-way. If the barricading is done negligently — blocking access unlawfully, causing property damage, or creating a hazard — the city has recourse through the bond. It shifts financial risk away from the city and onto the contractor doing the work.
When is it Required?
Before a barricade permit is issued by the City of Jacksonville, the permitting office will require proof that this bond is in place. This typically happens during the permit application process, before any equipment is set in the right-of-way. You will not receive permit approval until a valid Barricade Bond is on file with the city.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to work performed within the City of Jacksonville, Florida. It is a local city requirement — not a state of Florida license bond — and applies only to right-of-way or barricade work within Jacksonville's jurisdiction. Work in surrounding counties or municipalities requires separate bonding.
