What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Carlin Bay is a private community in North Idaho on Lake Coeur d'Alene, and the Carlin Bay Property Owners Association (CBPOA) maintains the roads and rights-of-way that serve it. When you need to disturb one of those roads — running a utility line, cutting in a driveway, setting a culvert, or boring under the surface — the association requires a right-of-way permit and a $20,000 bond first.
The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee to the association. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Carlin Bay Property Owners Association (the obligee). If you fail to restore the road to its prior condition or violate the terms of your permit, the association can recover against the bond up to $20,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Permit holders who backfill, compact, and resurface to the association's standard treat the bond as a permit formality, and we track the term so your filing stays continuous if your work runs long.

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 $20,000 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 your CBPOA permit. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to submit with your Carlin Bay Property Owners Association right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
