What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way permit bond actually covers
A County right-of-way permit bond is a public-property restoration guarantee. When you cut into a LaGrange County road, shoulder, or right-of-way for utility or site work, the County wants a financial backstop that you'll backfill, repave, and restore the surface to County standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and LaGrange County (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored or damage County property, the County can recover against the bond to make the repair.
The County sets the amount on your permit, usually tied to the cost of restoring the right-of-way. The premium is 1% of that amount, $100 minimum — priced by amount, not by credit or underwriting tier, and no credit check up to $100,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your right-of-way permit. Submit the executed bond to the LaGrange County Highway Department. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the County insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
