What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond covers
Any work in Augusta's public right-of-way — a utility cut, a new driveway apron, boring under a road — needs an encroachment / right-of-way permit, and the City conditions that permit on a bond. The bond guarantees you restore the right-of-way to the City's standard once the work is done.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Augusta (Augusta-Richmond County, the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way and don't restore it, the City can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who patch their cuts to spec treat the bond as a permit formality.
