What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A street cut permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the county. When you cut into a Switzerland County road or right-of-way, the bond promises you'll backfill, compact, and repave the cut to the County Highway Department's standard — and that the county won't be left paying to fix a sunken trench if you walk away.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Switzerland County, Indiana (the obligee). If the cut fails or the restoration isn't completed, the county can claim against the bond to make the road whole.
The bond stays in force for the term of your permit work. We track expirations and send renewal notices well ahead of any deadline so your permits don't lapse mid-project.
