What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way / road-use bond guarantees
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.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
