Leslie, MI Right of Way Permit Bond
Overview
Working in Leslie's public right of way? You need a Right of Way Permit Bond before the City of Leslie will issue your permit. This bond guarantees that any contractor or utility operator disturbing a city street, sidewalk, or public corridor will restore it to its original condition — or pay the city to do it. It is a financial backstop that protects Leslie's infrastructure and the taxpayers who depend on it.
Who Needs This Bond?
You're a contractor, excavator, or utility company that has been told by the City of Leslie that a Right of Way Permit Bond is required before you can dig, trench, or perform any work in a city-owned right of way. This applies to paving crews, telecom installers, plumbers tying into city lines, and anyone else whose work touches a public street, curb, or sidewalk within city limits. If you pulled a right of way permit application from the City of Leslie and saw a bond requirement on it, this is the bond you need. One company or individual is named as principal, and the City of Leslie is the obligee.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect the City of Leslie from the cost of repairing public infrastructure damaged during permitted work. If a contractor tears up pavement, disrupts a curb, or leaves a trench improperly filled and then fails to make it right, the city can make a claim against this bond to recover repair costs. It is not a performance bond for the underlying construction project — it is specifically tied to restoring right of way conditions after permitted activity is complete. The bond holds you accountable to the city's standards for how that public space is returned.
When is it Required?
Before work starts — that is the hard deadline. The City of Leslie will not issue a right of way permit until the bond is on file. You cannot legally begin excavation, utility installation, or any other permitted disturbance of city property without the permit in hand, and you cannot get the permit without the bond. If your project timeline is tight, get the bond secured first so the permit process is not the bottleneck holding up your crew.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the City of Leslie, Michigan, and satisfies a local permit requirement — not a state-level license or registration. It is required by and filed with the City of Leslie directly. Work performed in public rights of way in any other Michigan city or township would require a separate bond issued for that jurisdiction.
