Daviess County requires a right-of-way / road-use bond before you cut a county road or right-of-way, or run heavy or oversize loads over county roads — guaranteeing you restore and repair the road. The County sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard road-use bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the County. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the County required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way / road-use permit to the Daviess County Highway department. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your Daviess County permit and the premium updates.
Daviess County controls the roads and rights-of-way outside its towns, and conditions both cuts in those roads and heavy or oversize road use on a permit. The bond is the financial backstop the County requires — protecting the public roads from the work and the wear your project puts on them.
The bond is a restoration-and-repair guarantee: for a right-of-way cut, it stands behind backfilling and restoring the road; for road use, it stands behind repairing the damage heavy loads cause to county roads — common for energy, aggregate, agricultural, and pipeline operators hauling over rural roads.
It is not insurance for you — if the County makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Operators who restore cuts and repair the roads they wear treat the bond as a routine cost of working in the county right-of-way.
Submit the application with the bond amount the County set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your right-of-way / road-use permit.
