What it is and who needs it.
What the maintenance bond covers
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.

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 road commission. 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.
