Adams County street-cut bonds.
$100 flat.
Adams County requires a $5,000 bond before you cut a county street or excavate in the public right-of-way. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Adams County controls its roads and right-of-way, and conditions a street-cut or excavation permit on a surety bond. The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your promise to backfill, repave, and restore the county's pavement to its standards after you've opened it.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Adams County (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored or your work fails and the county has to fix it, Adams County can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
