Westwood Hills, KS Right of Way Permit Bond
Overview
Westwood Hills requires contractors to post a Right of Way Permit Bond before performing any work within city-controlled streets, sidewalks, or public easements. This bond protects the City of Westwood Hills and its residents from the cost of repairing damage caused by permitted work in the public right of way. If a contractor leaves the street, curb, or sidewalk in worse condition than found, the bond provides a financial remedy for the city. It is a condition of the permit — not optional.
Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors, utility workers, and excavation crews who have applied for or intend to apply for a right of way permit from the City of Westwood Hills need this bond. Any individual or company that will dig, trench, bore, pave, or otherwise disturb a city street, alley, sidewalk, or public easement falls under this requirement. If Westwood Hills has issued you a permit number or told you a bond is required before work begins, this is the bond you need. It applies regardless of whether the underlying project is commercial, residential, or utility-related.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that permitted work within the Westwood Hills public right of way will be completed properly and that any damage to city infrastructure will be restored to its original condition. The City of Westwood Hills is the obligee — the party protected by the bond. If a contractor fails to restore pavement, curbing, or sidewalks after excavation or construction, the city can make a claim against the bond to cover repair costs. The contractor, as principal, is ultimately responsible for that cost.
When is it Required?
Pulling a right of way permit from the City of Westwood Hills is the trigger — this bond must be in place before the permit is issued and work begins. Westwood Hills will not authorize excavation, trenching, or any other disturbance of the public right of way without proof that a valid bond is on file. The requirement applies to every project that breaks into or alters city-owned street or sidewalk surfaces. Timing matters: the bond must be active at permit issuance, not after the fact.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the City of Westwood Hills, Kansas, and satisfies a local municipal permit requirement — not a Kansas state license. It covers work performed within Westwood Hills city limits on public streets, sidewalks, alleys, and easements. A bond issued for another Kansas city or county will not satisfy this requirement.
