What it is and who needs it.
What the driveway bond actually covers
Hancock County, Indiana permits commercial driveway connections to County roads, and a minor commercial driveway — the lighter-impact tier — requires a surety bond. Even a smaller commercial entrance affects County pavement, drainage, and right-of-way, so the County wants a financial backstop.
The bond guarantees you'll build the driveway connection to the County's standards and restore the road, shoulder, and right-of-way you disturb. The County sets the bond amount based on the driveway and the road work; the premium scales with that figure, starting from $100.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Hancock County (the obligee). If the connection is built improperly or County property is damaged and not repaired, the County can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
