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 the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Road Commission set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
