What it is and who needs it.
What the highway use bond guarantees
A temporary highway use permit bond is a restoration guarantee the Ada County Highway District requires before it lets a contractor or applicant work in the public right-of-way — special events, construction, dewatering, or anything that blocks or restricts a county road.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the Ada County Highway District (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way and fail to restore it, or violate the permit’s conditions, ACHD can recover its repair costs against the bond up to $25,000.
ACHD is the consolidated highway authority for Ada County — it owns and maintains most public roads in the county, including within Boise. The bond stays in place for the life of the permit; we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.
