The Monroe County Road Commission requires a $5,000 maintenance bond standing behind right-of-way work — guaranteeing the restored roadway holds up after the permit work is done. Ours is $275 flat, our 3% minimum, the same for every contractor.
















A maintenance bond is among the simplest in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials for a small fixed-amount maintenance bond like this.
Maintenance bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Monroe County Road Commission for your right-of-way work. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, below our $275 floor — so the premium is $275, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price.
After a contractor works in the Monroe County road right-of-way, the road commission wants a guarantee that the restored roadway holds up. The $5,000 maintenance bond stands behind that work for the maintenance period — covering defects that surface after the job is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Monroe County Road Commission (the obligee). If the restored right-of-way fails or develops defects within the maintenance period, the commission can recover against the bond to fix it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors whose restoration work holds up treat the bond as a permit formality. It often runs alongside the right-of-way permit bond, which secures the work itself.
These are the actual issuing fields for a small fixed-amount maintenance bond — submit once and most issue right away.
