About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the excavation bond actually covers

Frederick County requires a permit before anyone excavates or constructs within a County road right-of-way, and conditions that permit on a financial guarantee. The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to backfill, repave, and restore the right-of-way to County standards after your work.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Frederick County (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored or the work fails, the County can use the bond to make the right-of-way whole — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

The County sizes the bond to the cost of restoring the disturbed area, so the amount varies by job, and so does your price — 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. We issue whatever amount Public Works set.

Frederick County Code — construction within road rights-of-wayFrederick County regulates permits for construction and excavation within County road rights-of-way (Frederick County Code, Chapter 1-15) and conditions the permit on a financial guarantee sized to the cost of restoration. The County Division of Public Works sets the bond amount on your permit — confirm the figure on the permit itself.
