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, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount Pike County set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
