What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond covers
A permit from the Muskegon County Road Commission is required any time work is performed in the county road right-of-way. The road commission conditions that permit on a surety bond, which guarantees the work meets its standards and the right-of-way is restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Muskegon County Road Commission (the obligee). If the right-of-way is left damaged or 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 of its permits. The road commission sets your amount — enter that figure and pricing starts from $100.

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 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.
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. Submit the executed bond with your Muskegon County Road Commission permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
