What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way / easement bond actually covers
Pinellas County conditions its right-of-way or easement permit on a completion surety of 110% of the engineer’s estimated cost of the installation, lasting as long as the permitted activity. The bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee: it stands behind proper restoration of any county road, sidewalk, drainage, or easement you disturb, and your compliance with the permit conditions and county standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Pinellas County (the obligee, the party the bond is payable to). If you fail to restore the right-of-way or easement, or your work damages public infrastructure, the County can recover against the bond up to its amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way to county standard treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount the County set and your price starts from $125.
