The Monroe County Road Commission requires a permit — and a bond — for all work within the county road right-of-way, whether by a contractor or a property owner. The road commission sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with a $275 minimum.

A permit is required from the Monroe County Road Commission (MCRC) Engineering Department for all work conducted within the county road right-of-way — whether performed by a contractor or a property owner. The road commission conditions that permit on a surety bond.
The bond guarantees that the work meets the road commission's standards and that the right-of-way is restored. It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Monroe County Road Commission (the obligee). If the right-of-way is left out of compliance, the commission can recover against the bond.
Under Michigan law (MCL 224.19b), a county road commission generally requires no more than a single right-of-way bond from a provider to secure all its permits. The road commission sets the amount for your work — enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3%, $275 minimum.
Submit the application with the bond amount the road commission set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
