What it is and who needs it.
What the road permit bond actually covers
A Michigan county road commission controls the right-of-way along county roads. To install a driveway, run a utility, or excavate within that right-of-way, you need a permit from the Manistee County Road Commission — and the Commission can require a bond guaranteeing you restore the road and right-of-way you disturb.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Manistee County Road Commission (the obligee). If you don’t backfill, repave, and restore the right-of-way to the Commission’s standard, it can draw on the bond to do so.
It is not insurance for you. If the Road Commission makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Once the work is inspected and accepted, the bond is released. Enter the amount on your permit — pricing starts from $100, 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 Manistee County Road Commission. Submit the executed bond with your road right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
