Overview
Working over the curb in Toledo means working in the public right-of-way — and the City of Toledo requires a surety bond before that work begins. This bond protects Toledo and its residents if a contractor damages curbs, gutters, or adjacent public infrastructure during a permitted job. It is a local City of Toledo requirement, entirely separate from any state contractor license bond issued by Ohio. Get bonded before you pull your permit and keep your project on schedule.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a contractor performing work that crosses into Toledo's public right-of-way — driveways, curb cuts, utility connections, or any project that touches the curb line — this bond is required by the city. Concrete contractors, excavation contractors, utility contractors, and general contractors doing site work within Toledo city limits all fall into this category. The trigger is the City of Toledo permit for over-the-curb work, not a state license. If Toledo's permit office has told you a bond is required, this is the one.
What is this Bond For?
Toledo's Over the Curb Bond guarantees that a contractor will restore public infrastructure — curbs, gutters, and the surrounding right-of-way — to city standards after completing permitted work. If the contractor leaves damage unrepaired or fails to meet Toledo's restoration requirements, the city can make a claim against the bond to cover the cost of repairs. This is a compliance bond, not a performance bond for a private contract. It protects Toledo's public streets and its taxpayers, not a private property owner.
When is it Required?
Every time a contractor applies for a City of Toledo over-the-curb permit, the bond must be in place before that permit is issued. This is not a one-time purchase that follows you from job to job automatically — Toledo requires the bond as a condition of each applicable permit application. Contractors who regularly work within Toledo's right-of-way should confirm their bond is active and on file with the city before submitting any new permit request. Letting the bond lapse or expire can stall your permit and delay your project start date.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively to work performed within the City of Toledo, Ohio, under a Toledo-issued over-the-curb permit. It has no effect in Lucas County's unincorporated areas, neighboring municipalities, or anywhere else in Ohio. If you are expanding into other Ohio cities or counties, each jurisdiction will have its own bonding requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
I work in multiple Ohio cities — does my Toledo Over the Curb Bond cover me when I move to a job in another jurisdiction?
No. This bond is issued specifically for work within the City of Toledo and covers only Toledo's over-the-curb permit requirements. If you expand into another Ohio city or county — Columbus, Cleveland, or anywhere in between — that jurisdiction will have its own bonding requirement, and you will need a separate bond to satisfy it. Always confirm local bond requirements before pulling a permit in a new municipality.
Does this bond replace my general liability insurance or workers' compensation coverage?
It does not. The Toledo Over the Curb Bond is a surety bond that protects the City of Toledo if you fail to restore public infrastructure to city standards — it is not insurance for your business. Your general liability policy covers third-party property damage and bodily injury claims, and your workers' comp coverage handles on-the-job injuries to your employees. Toledo will almost certainly require both this bond and proof of adequate insurance before issuing your permit. They serve completely different purposes.
If I use subcontractors on a Toledo over-the-curb job, are they covered under my bond?
No. Your Toledo Over the Curb Bond covers your obligations as the permit holder — it does not extend protection to subcontractors performing work under you. If a subcontractor causes damage in Toledo's right-of-way and you are the bonded permit holder, you remain responsible for the restoration and any resulting claim against your bond. Make sure your subcontract agreements address liability for public right-of-way damage clearly, and confirm whether Toledo requires subcontractors to carry their own bonds for specific scopes of work.
