Kane County highway permit bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
The Kane County Division of Transportation requires an individual highway permit bond, payable to the County, before it issues a permit for work within a county highway right-of-way — driveway access, utility installation, or other single-project encroachments. The bond equals 100% of the County Engineer's estimate of probable restoration cost and stays in effect until final inspection and release. Premiums cost 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the Kane County highway permit bond actually guarantees
The Kane County Division of Transportation administers permits for encroachments within county highway rights-of-way under its published Permit Regulations and access ordinances; for utility placements specifically, the Illinois Highway Code requires the County Engineer's written consent, 605 ILCS 5/9-113. An individual highway permit — covering a single driveway, utility, or similar encroachment — requires a bond, payable to the County, before the permit issues.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Kane County (the obligee), with the traveling public and the county's road infrastructure as the protected party. The bond guarantees you'll complete the work under the permit's terms, safely restore any disturbed pavement, shoulders, curbs, ditches, or landscaping, and indemnify the County for costs arising from non-compliance.
The required amount equals 100% of the County Engineer's estimate of probable restoration cost, set prior to permit issuance, and the bond stays in effect until final inspection and release. Enter that figure and we price it from a $100 minimum. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
