What the Allen County right-of-way bond covers
When a business opens the county right-of-way in Allen County — for utilities, boring, or pavement cuts — the County requires a right-of-way permit and a $5,000 surety bond. The bond guarantees you restore the right-of-way to County standards after the work is finished.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Allen County (the obligee), with the County and the public as the protected parties. If you leave a cut, trench, or bore unrestored, or damage County infrastructure, the County can recover restoration costs against the bond.
This bond carries statutory renewal dates — it renews on the County’s set annual cycle rather than your purchase date, and the term price reflects that. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
