What it is and who needs it.
What the right of way bond actually covers
When you work within a county road right-of-way — cutting pavement, boring under a road, installing a driveway or utility line — Mobile County requires a right-of-way bond as a condition of the permit. It is a performance guarantee that you will restore the right-of-way to county standards once the work is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Mobile County (the obligee). If you damage the road or leave the right-of-way unrestored and the county has to repair it, the county can recover against the bond.
The amount is set by the county for your project — typically tied to the cost to restore the right-of-way. The premium is 1% of that amount, $100 minimum — enter your figure and the exact price appears at the application; if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
