From $100. Enter your amount.
Before it lets you open the public road to lay or repair utilities, Calvert County requires a utility permit bond guaranteeing the road is restored and the work meets County standards. The County sets the amount — your price is exactly 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the utility permit bond actually guarantees
Calvert County controls work in its public roads and right-of-way. When a contractor or utility opens the road to install, repair, or connect utilities, the County conditions the permit on a surety bond that backs the restoration of the road.
The bond is a restoration-and-performance guarantee: it stands behind the right-of-way being put back to County standards once the utility work is done. Calvert County (the obligee) can draw on the bond to repair the road if you leave it unfinished or defective.
It is not insurance for you. If the County draws on the bond and the surety pays, you repay the surety. The amount the County sets is generally tied to the cost of restoring the area you disturb — confirm it on your permit.
