When you pull an individual right-of-way permit from the Branch County Road Commission, the Commission can condition it on a performance bond — covering that one permit and its work in the county road right-of-way. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check; enter the amount on your permit.
















No underwriting queue for the standard permit bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Road Commission. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the Road Commission required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your individual permit application in Coldwater. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists on them.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure the Road Commission set and the premium updates.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Road Commission set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
