What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
Greene County controls work in the right of way along its county roads. Before it issues a permit to excavate in or occupy that space, the County Highway Department requires a $10,000 right-of-way bond as a financial guarantee.
The bond guarantees that you'll restore the right of way to County standards after your work and follow the conditions of the permit. If you leave a cut unrestored or damage county infrastructure and the County has to fix it, Greene County (the obligee) can recover its cost against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their work properly treat the bond as a permit formality. The bond must stay active while your permit is open.
