What it is and who needs it.
What the HARSB encroachment bond guarantees
An encroachment permit bond is a protection guarantee the Hayden Area Regional Sewer Board requires before anyone builds, paves, grades, or otherwise encroaches on the District’s sewer easements, lines, or facilities. HARSB is the regional wastewater authority serving the Hayden and Hayden Lake area of Kootenai County.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the Hayden Area Regional Sewer Board (the obligee). If your encroachment damages District infrastructure or you fail to restore the easement to District standards, HARSB can recover its costs against the bond up to $50,000.
The bond stays in place for the life of the permit. We track it and notify you ahead of expiration so your HARSB encroachment permit stays in good standing.

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 $50,000 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 the District. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your HARSB encroachment permit before work begins. Wet-ink original on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
