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 Kalamazoo 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 — no credit check up to $100,000 — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 Kalamazoo County Road Commission. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the county insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% 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.
