About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the individual permit performance bond covers

An individual permit performance bond backs a single right-of-way permit rather than all your county work for a year. When the Branch County Road Commission issues a permit for a specific job in the county road right-of-way, it can require this bond to secure performance of that permit's conditions.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Branch County Road Commission (the obligee). If the permitted work is left unfinished, non-conforming, or the right-of-way is damaged, the Commission can recover against the bond.

Under MCL 224.19b, a county road commission may require a bond to secure the conditions of the permits it issues. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay it. We issue the amount the Commission set for your permit, at a flat 3% with no credit check.

The bond amount and terms are set by the Road Commission for that permit — confirm the figure with the Branch County Road Commission in Coldwater.
