CT DOT highway permit bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
When you work in a Connecticut state highway right-of-way — driveways, utilities, encroachments — the Department of Transportation conditions the encroachment permit on a permit bond. CTDOT sets the amount during plan review, and the premium is 1% of that bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price shows at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the highway permit bond actually covers
To build a driveway, set utilities, or otherwise work within a Connecticut state highway right-of-way, you file an Application for Encroachment Permit (Form PMT-1) with the CTDOT District Maintenance Manager, under the encroachment-permit regulations at RCSA § 13b-17 (with CTDOT's authority over state rights-of-way under CGS Title 13a/13b).
A permit bond is generally required before CTDOT issues the permit. The bond stands behind your obligation to do the work to the department's standards and to restore the right-of-way — so the public isn't left with damaged or unfinished work in the road.
Some applicants are excused: a public service company that files an acceptable statement of solvency, or a municipality doing the work with its own forces, can have the bond waived. The amount is set by the District Maintenance Manager during plan review (RCSA § 13b-17-8). Whatever amount applies, we price it at 1% of that amount, $100 minimum — the application collects no credit information, and on the rare bond where a check does run, it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
