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 Emmet 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 Emmet 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 — the price is 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum, and no credit check up to $100,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Emmet County Road Commission. Submit the executed bond with your individual permit application in Harbor Springs. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
