What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
County roads, shoulders, and the ground beneath them are public infrastructure. The Bay County Road Commission requires a permit before anyone opens, excavates, bores, or places utilities in a county road right-of-way — and conditions that permit on a surety bond.
The bond stands behind your restoration of the right-of-way and your compliance with the permit conditions. If you damage the road, leave the trench or boring unrestored, or walk away from the work, the Road Commission can recover against the bond to make it right.
The Road Commission sets the bond amount on your permit, sized to the work and the restoration involved. Enter that figure and pricing starts from $100 — the application collects no credit information — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
