LA special permit fees bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
When a Louisiana hauler runs oversize or overweight permits on a monthly fee account instead of paying each one up front, DOTD wants a bond standing behind those fees. It is filed under La. R.S. 32:387 — and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check on this bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What this permit-fee bond actually covers
Louisiana regulates the movement of oversize and overweight loads through the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) under La. R.S. 32:380 et seq., and the special-permit fee provisions of La. R.S. 32:387. A hauler running many permits can keep a monthly fee account rather than paying each permit at the counter.
This bond is the security for that arrangement. The statute lets DOTD require a surety bond so the special-permit fees and charges you accrue each month are guaranteed — DOTD bills the account on a monthly cycle, and the bond stands behind what you owe.
It is not insurance for you — if DOTD recovers unpaid fees against the bond, you repay the surety. This is the fee-account bond; the separate permit-performance bond for the loads themselves is a different filing, and we write that one too.
