What Is a City of Austin Sidewalk Bond?

If your construction project requires you to block the sidewalk within Austin city limits, you’ll need a city of Austin sidewalk bond to secure a right-of-way permit before you begin work. A right-of-way permit is necessary for the following projects:

  • Driveway or sidewalk construction
  • Excavation of a sidewalk
  • Sidewalk cafe
  • Temporary use of right-of-way

To receive a right-of-way permit for a project that involves constructing, excavating, or replacing the sidewalk, you have to submit a $10,000 minimum bond with the application. The city requires the bond to ensure that you’ll follow local codes and do the work you agree to do in a way that’s acceptable to your customer and the neighborhood.

In addition to the surety bond, you may need to provide proof of insurance and a license, depending on the scope of the project. The city accepts electronic copies of some documents.
