The Carlin Bay Property Owners Association requires a fixed $20,000 bond before it issues a single right-of-way permit to dig, trench, bore, or build in the private roads it maintains near Lake Coeur d'Alene. Ours is $600 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and the application takes five minutes.
















A right-of-way permit bond is among the simplest things in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, a description of the work you are performing in the right-of-way, and an effective date. That is the application — no financials and no credit check section.
Right-of-way permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
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.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields, including a short description of the work in the right-of-way — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
