About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A right-of-way permit bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee. When you open Jefferson County road right-of-way to lay or repair utilities, the county wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the right-of-way and follow the permit conditions.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Jefferson County / its Highway Division (the obligee). If you leave the right-of-way unrestored or damage county road property and don't make it right, the county can recover against the bond.

Keep the bond active and your right-of-way permits stay clear with the Highway Division. We track expiration and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
