What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually covers
A highway right-of-way permit bond is a guarantee to Houston County that work in the county road right-of-way — driveway cuts, utility bores, pipe crossings, drainage, paving — will be done to county standards and the right-of-way restored. The county wants a financial backstop before it lets you disturb a public road.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Houston County (the obligee). If you damage the roadway, leave the right-of-way unrestored, or fail to meet the permit conditions, the county can recover its repair costs against the bond up to the amount it set.
We issue the amount the Houston County Highway / Engineering Department set on your permit, with premiums from $100 — most applicants qualify at or near the minimum. These bonds typically run for the life of the permit, and we keep yours continuous for as long as the county requires it.
