Before Martin County Public Works issues a Right-of-Way Use Permit, you post security equal to 110% of your Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Cost, or 100% for work tied to an approved Development Order. This bond is one form of that security, guaranteeing you restore what you disturb. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

Martin County requires a Right-of-Way Use Permit for work in its right-of-way, such as a drainage tie-in, a utility line or repaving. The Public Works Department issues it and asks for security first: a performance bond, a letter of credit or cash. The bond is a restoration-and-performance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to restore the road, drainage, or utility to County standards once your work is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Martin County Board of County Commissioners (the obligee, the party the bond protects). If you leave the right-of-way unrestored, damage public infrastructure, or abandon the permitted work, the County can recover against the bond to make the repairs itself.
The amount follows a set rule: 110% of your Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Cost, signed and sealed by a Florida-licensed engineer, or 100% when the work is tied to an approved Development Order. The security is waived for applicants regulated by the Florida Public Service Commission or the Federal Communications Commission and for municipal or county-owned water or wastewater facilities.
