What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Allen County requires a right-of-way permit before anyone opens, cuts, or works in the county's rights-of-way, and conditions the individual permit on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond guarantees you restore the right-of-way to the county's standards after the work — administered through the Allen County Highway Department.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Allen County (the obligee). If you leave a trench unrestored, damage county infrastructure, or fail to repair the right-of-way, the county can recover its restoration costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Applicants who patch correctly and pass the county's inspection never see a claim. The bond must stay active for the term of your permit; we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.

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 $1,000 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.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, October 8, in the year your term ends.
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

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
