What the right-of-way bond actually covers
Jefferson County conditions a right-of-way permit — to cut, excavate, or work within a county road, sidewalk, or other public right of way — on a surety bond. The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to restore the right of way to the county’s standards after the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Jefferson County (the obligee). If a permit holder leaves the right of way unrestored or damaged and the county must repair it, the county can recover against the bond.
The amount is set by Jefferson County for the scope of work, so enter the figure on your permit. Whatever amount applies, we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
