About this bond

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.
