Jones County requires a road (right-of-way) permit bond before you cut, bore, or work within a county road — a guarantee that you restore the pavement, shoulder, and drainage to county standard when the work is done. The county’s Public Works / Roads Department sets the amount; we issue the bond at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
















Enter your amount, consent to a soft pull, and file with the county. Here is the whole thing — no broker phone tag:
Business details, the bond amount the county set, and the effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The soft pull never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with the county road / right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed when the county insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure Jones County set and the premium updates.
When you need to cut, bore, trench, or otherwise work within a Jones County road or right-of-way — to run a utility line, a driveway, or a culvert — the county issues a road / right-of-way permit and conditions it on a surety bond. The bond is a restoration guarantee: it backs your obligation to put the road, shoulder, and drainage back the way the county requires.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Jones County (the obligee), through its public works / roads department. If you damage the road and don’t restore it, the county can recover against the bond to make the repairs itself.
It is not insurance for you — if the county makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
