About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Pike County logging bond covers

Pike County requires logging and pulpwood operators that move timber over the county roads to post a fixed $2,500 surety bond before they begin. Loaded log trucks are hard on rural roads, so the bond is a road-restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to repair the damage your hauling causes.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Pike County (the obligee). If a logging operation tears up a county road and does not repair it, the county can recover against the bond up to the $2,500 penal sum to make the repairs.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Operators who notify the county, follow the haul routes, and fix what they damage treat the bond as a routine cost of doing business. We issue the fixed $2,500 bond at $100 flat; no credit check, and most applications approve instantly.

After you buy

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 $2,500 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 Pike County. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with Pike County before your logging operation begins. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,500 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
