What it is and who needs it.
What the highway permit bond actually covers
A highway permit bond is a restoration guarantee. When you build a driveway, run a utility, or grade within St. Clair County road right-of-way, the St. Clair County Road Commission wants assurance you'll restore the right-of-way to its standards and not leave a hazard.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the St. Clair County Road Commission (the obligee). If the right-of-way isn't properly restored and the Commission has to fix it, it can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way to spec treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount the Commission set, and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
