What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Muskegon County requires a $25,000 bond from contractors who open or work in the county right-of-way — cutting roads, running utilities, or excavating within county-controlled right-of-way. The County wants a financial backstop that you’ll restore what you disturb.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Muskegon County (the obligee). The bond guarantees you’ll comply with the County’s right-of-way permit conditions and restore the road, pavement, and surface to standard.
It is not insurance for you. If the County makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way and close out their permits cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
