For a single right-of-way project, MDOT requires an individual right-of-way permit bond on file before it issues the permit. It’s sized to that one project — and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard ROW bond — enter your amount, pay, and put it on file with MDOT. Here is the whole thing:
Your contractor details, the bond amount MDOT set for the permit, 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.
Put the executed bond on file so MDOT will issue your right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure MDOT set and the premium updates.
MDOT requires a permit before anyone works within the state trunkline right-of-way — and before it issues that permit, it requires a right-of-way permit bond on file. An individual bond covers a single permit and project.
It’s the right choice when you only have one project in the right-of-way and don’t expect to pull permits all year. (If you do expect several, a blanket bond covering a year of work under one instrument is usually simpler — we write that too.)
The bond guarantees you complete the permitted work to MDOT’s standards and restore the right-of-way. If you don’t, MDOT can recover the cost of repair or completion against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. MDOT sets the amount for the project; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
