What it is and who needs it.
What the permit bond actually covers
Arkansas DOT issues permits for moving loads that exceed legal size or weight on the State Highway System, through its Highway Police Permit Section. For most single-trip overweight or oversize permits, no bond is required — but a bond is required in a few specific situations under the permit rules.
One is the movement of houses in excess of twenty feet in width, which requires a $5,000 surety bond filed with the Permit Section, for damages that may result from the move. Another is a monthly permit charge account, which you can set up by posting a surety bond — a minimum of about $1,000 — so the Department bills you rather than collecting per permit.
The bond stands behind damage to highways, facilities, or property from the move, or the charges on your account. Whatever amount the Permit Section sets, we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
