What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Indiana counties administer and maintain their own county road system, and Sullivan County’s Highway Department requires a permit — commonly backed by a surety bond — before anyone excavates, crosses, or otherwise disturbs a county road right-of-way for a driveway, utility line, or similar work. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your promise to restore the right-of-way and complete the permitted work properly.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and Sullivan County (the obligee), with the traveling public as the protected party. If permitted work damages a county road or right-of-way and is not properly restored, the county can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The Highway Department sets the required amount case by case depending on the scope of work, so confirm the figure on your specific permit before you apply.
