In the City of Highland Heights, permits are required for all new commercial and residential construction within the City limits. Depending on the type of permit, the contractor may also have to file a surety bond with the City’s Building Department.
Contractors that have been approved for a right-of-way permit project must file a Right-of-Way Bond with the Department. Contractors are not authorized to begin work until their permit has been approved and the surety bond has been properly filed.

The Highland Heights Building Department requires contractors who are performing construction or excavation work in a public right-of-way area to obtain the Right-of-Way Bond to ensure that the contractor will abide by all permit regulations, as well as maintain the area to a satisfactory condition for a period of 180-days once the project is completed. If the contractor fails to uphold these obligations, the Department may use the bond as restitution for losses incurred. For example, if the contractor fails to finish the project, the Department can file a claim on the surety bond to cover the costs of hiring a new contractor to complete the project properly.
