What it is and who needs it.
What the road-use bond actually covers
In rural Kentucky counties, heavy haulers — coal, natural gas, timber, and aggregate operators — can put outsized wear on local roads. The Letcher County Fiscal Court manages this through a cooperative road-use agreement that lets a hauler use designated county roads in exchange for maintaining or repairing them.
The road-use bond backs that agreement. It is a guarantee to the county that you will perform your maintenance and repair obligations and restore the roads you use — the Letcher County Fiscal Court is the obligee.
If you fail to repair or maintain the roads as agreed and the county is harmed, it can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Fiscal Court set, priced at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — not by a credit or underwriting tier.

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.
