What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
The Hamilton County Highway Department maintains the county's roads and rights-of-way. When a utility, contractor, or property owner needs to cut pavement, bore, or excavate in that right-of-way, the County issues a permit and requires a right-of-way bond first.
The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to backfill, repave, and properly restore the county road or right-of-way after your work. If you leave damage, a failed patch, or an open cut, Hamilton County (the obligee) can draw on the bond to fund the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The amount is set by the County based on your scope; enter that figure and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.
