What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Washington County conditions a commercial entrance permit on a $3,000 surety bond payable to the county. When a business builds an access — an entrance, apron, or turn lane — onto a county road, the bond stands behind the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Washington County (the obligee). The bond guarantees you build the commercial entrance to county standard and restore the road, shoulder, and drainage if your work fails or damages the county road.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build entrances to standard treat the bond as a permit formality.
