What it is and who needs it.
What the Homer Township right-of-way bond actually guarantees
The Homer Township Road District, administered under the Illinois Highway Code, 605 ILCS 5, Article 6, gives its Highway Commissioner general authority over township and district roads, including granting permits for driveways, utility crossings, and other work within the road right-of-way. The Commissioner conditions a right-of-way permit on a surety bond, payable to the Township.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township (the obligee), with the road right-of-way as the protected asset. The bond backs your promise to complete permitted work and restore any township right-of-way disturbed in the process; Will County approval is also required before access is granted on covered projects.
Because the Commissioner sizes the bond to each permit's scope, there is no single fixed amount — one Homer Township access permit has required a $25,000 surety bond, but smaller work is bonded for less. Enter the figure your permit specifies; we price it from a $100 minimum. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 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.
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 Road District. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Homer Township Road District so the Highway Commissioner can approve your permit.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
