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; whatever figure it names, we issue at a flat 3%.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount Hancock County set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
