About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way permit bond covers

The state highway right of way is the public land along Indiana’s state routes. Any work in it — laying utility lines, excavation, drainage, road repairs — requires an INDOT single highway permit, and because it’s public infrastructure, INDOT conditions the permit on a surety bond.

The bond guarantees you will complete the permitted work to INDOT’s standards and restore the right of way — pavement, shoulders, drainage, and grade — to its proper condition. If the work is left unfinished or damages the highway, INDOT can recover against the bond.

INDOT sets the penal sum to cover the scope of your specific project. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue whatever amount the permit names, at a flat 3% with no credit check.

IC 8-23-2 / 105 IAC 7 (INDOT right-of-way permits)INDOT administers work within state highway right of way under IC 8-23 and its permitting rules at 105 IAC 7. A single highway permit for right-of-way work is conditioned on a surety bond covering completion of the work and restoration of the right of way, in an amount INDOT sets for the project. Confirm the penal sum on your permit paperwork.

How much is the Indiana DOT right of way permit bond? +

What is the “right of way”? +
It is the public land along Indiana state highways. Working in it — utility lines, excavation, drainage, repairs — requires an INDOT single highway permit and a bond guaranteeing completion and restoration.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the permit bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
How is this different from the driveway permit? +
Both are INDOT single highway permits. The driveway permit covers building a driveway connection; the right-of-way permit covers general work within the right of way. Pick the one your INDOT permit names.
What amount should I enter? +
