The bond Jefferson County requires for a right-of-way use and construction permit — a street or road cut. The County sets a job-specific permit bond sized to the work; the premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — priced by your amount, not a credit tier.
















No underwriting queue for the standard street cut bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the County. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the County set, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
Most applicants get the executed bond generated as soon as they pay. If a check runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score — larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way use and construction permit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Jefferson County requires a right-of-way use and construction permit — commonly called a street or road cut — for work in county right-of-way or easements. Its Transportation & Engineering division conditions that permit on a job-specific permit bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Jefferson County (the obligee). The bond guarantees that you restore any public road, street, or sidewalk to its original condition after the work is complete.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the County on a valid claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the cut to county standards treat the bond as a permit formality.
Submit the application with the bond amount Jefferson County set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
