What it is and who needs it.
What the driveway bond guarantees
When you build a private driveway that ties into a Hancock County road, the county Highway Department conditions the driveway permit on a surety bond. The bond stands behind your promise to build the connection — culvert, apron, grade — to county standards and restore the right-of-way you disturb.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Hancock County (the obligee). If the driveway connection is built wrong or the right-of-way is left unrestored, the county can recover against the bond to fix it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Property owners and contractors who build to spec treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the county set; pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
