What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond covers
La Plata County requires a permit and bond before any construction along county streets, highways, or roadways — excavation, grading, sidewalk, encroachment, maintenance, or other roadway work. Its Public Works department administers the right-of-way permit and conditions it on a surety bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and La Plata County (the obligee). The bond guarantees that your work does not negatively impact public infrastructure and that any damage to the right-of-way is adequately repaired.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the County on a valid claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way to county standards treat the bond as a permit formality.
