What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Washington County conditions a driveway entrance permit on a $1,500 two-year performance bond payable to the county. When you build or rebuild a driveway that ties into a county road, the bond guarantees the connection performs for two years.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Washington County (the obligee). If the driveway connection settles, fails, or damages the county road within the two-year period and you don't repair it, the county can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Owners and contractors who build driveways to county standard treat the bond as a permit formality.
