Curb Cut/Street Cut Permit ($2,000) Bond - City of Tecumseh, OK in Oklahoma

Brief Summary

A Tecumseh curb cut or street cut permit needs two things before it is issued: a deposit set by the city council and a liability bond in favor of the city. The bond covers repair costs that run past the deposit. Having it ready when you apply keeps the utility tap or driveway job on schedule.

Tecumseh makes it unlawful to cut the pavement or curb on any city street, avenue or alley without a permit. Before the permit issues, the applicant pays a deposit set by the city council and provides a liability bond in favor of the City of Tecumseh to reimburse repair costs above the deposit. This listing is written at $2,000. Section 38-57 of the city code states a minimum of $10,000, so confirm the amount the city will accept with the City of Tecumseh before the bond is issued.

This page covers the $2,000 bond listed for the Tecumseh curb cut and street cut permit. Section 38-57 of the Tecumseh City Code reads that a liability bond in favor of the city in the minimum amount of $10,000.00 shall be provided by the applicant. Confirm with the City of Tecumseh which amount it will accept for your permit before the bond is issued.

Deposit and bond are both required

Section 38-57 calls for a deposit, in an amount set by the city council, paid before the permit is issued. The bond is in addition to the deposit. Its job is to reimburse the city for any repair expenses that exceed the deposit.

Who needs the permit

Under Section 38-55, no one may cut the pavement or curb on a Tecumseh street, avenue or alley to lay pipe or other utility connections, or for any other purpose, without a permit. Curb cut applications go to the code enforcement officer and state the time and place of the work. A curb cut that would create a traffic hazard or interfere with public safety can be refused. A permit fee is also due under Section 38-56.

How the work is handled

Once a cut starts, the permittee must finish the excavation without delay or interruption. Where curbing is removed for a driveway, the base must be left in good condition with a concrete apron or approach at least three feet wide, the curb and driveway rebuilt to the specifications in the city's subdivision regulations in Chapter 40, and all old curbing hauled away. The city building inspector inspects and approves the work. When finished, the permittee notifies the city, and the city repairs the street cut from its special street repair fund, which receives the permit money collected under this article.
