What it is and who needs it.
What the permit bond actually guarantees
A hauler moving a load that exceeds Connecticut’s legal size or weight limits needs an oversize/overweight permit, administered under the C.G.S. 14-270 permit framework and its regulations. As a condition of certain permits, the state can require a $2,000 surety bond standing behind the move.
The bond guarantees that the permittee follows the permit conditions and does not damage the highway — pavement, bridges, structures, drainage, and other roadway features along the routed move. If the move causes damage the hauler does not pay for, the state can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays for highway damage, you repay the surety. Whether a bond is required can depend on the permit type and route; confirm on your permit paperwork, and we issue the $2,000 bond to match.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $2,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your permit. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your oversize/overweight permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
