What it is and who needs it.
What the road-closing bond actually covers
Closing a county highway, road, or right-of-way for construction, an event, or a project means taking a public road out of service temporarily. The Bay County Road Commission issues a permit for the closure and conditions it on a surety bond, so traffic-control and restoration obligations are backed.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Bay County Road Commission (the obligee). If the closure leaves the right-of-way damaged or you fail to follow the permit's traffic-control and restoration terms, the Commission can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the road and close it safely treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the Commission set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
