Oconomowoc, WI Right of Way Permit Bond
Overview
Oconomowoc's public streets and rights of way belong to the community — and when contractors or utility workers need to dig, bore, or occupy that space, the City requires a financial guarantee that the work will be done right and the property will be restored. This bond is that guarantee. It protects the City of Oconomowoc and its residents from the cost of repairing damage or incomplete restoration caused by permitted right-of-way work. Before you can break ground in the public right of way, this bond must be in place.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a contractor, utility company, excavator, or developer who has applied for — or been told you need — a right-of-way permit from the City of Oconomowoc, this bond is your next step. Any party performing work within the City's streets, sidewalks, curbs, or other public right-of-way areas will be required to carry this bond before the permit is issued. It applies whether your project involves trenching, boring, paving, utility installation, or any other work that disturbs City-owned property.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that you, as the permit holder, will complete the permitted right-of-way work in compliance with the City of Oconomowoc's requirements and will fully restore the affected public property when the work is done. If you fail to restore the street, curb, sidewalk, or other right-of-way area to the City's standards, the bond gives the City a financial remedy to cover the cost of that repair. It holds the contractor accountable to the City — not just on paper, but with a real financial backstop.
When is it Required?
Every right-of-way permit issued by the City of Oconomowoc triggers this bond requirement — it applies each time you pull a permit for work in the public right of way, not just once. If you work regularly in Oconomowoc's streets and pull multiple permits over time, you may need to maintain an active bond to stay eligible for ongoing permitting. The City will not issue your right-of-way permit until proof of this bond is on file, so secure it before you submit your permit application or begin any site work.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a local City of Oconomowoc requirement and applies specifically to work performed within Oconomowoc's public rights of way, including streets, alleys, sidewalks, and related public infrastructure. It is not a Wisconsin state license bond and cannot be substituted for any other municipality's right-of-way bond. Only work permitted by the City of Oconomowoc falls under this bond's coverage.
