What it is and who needs it.
What the Pike County encroachment bond covers
Pike County issues temporary encroachment permits for work that crosses or occupies the public right-of-way — driveways, utility cuts, drainage tie-ins, and similar work. The county conditions the permit on a surety bond, which is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to put the right-of-way back the way you found it.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Pike County (the obligee). If a permit holder damages the road, leaves the right-of-way unrestored, or violates the permit conditions, the county can recover against the bond up to its penal sum to make the repairs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way and pass the county inspection treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the county set, priced at 1% of the bond amount with a $100 minimum; no credit check up to $50,000, and most applications approve instantly.

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 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.
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

What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
