What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Washington County conditions a street connection permit on a $5,000 surety bond payable to the county. When a contractor ties a new driveway, road, or access into a county street, 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 connection to county standard and restore the road, shoulder, and drainage if your work fails or damages the county street.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build connections to standard treat the bond as a permit formality.
