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.
