What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When you work in a Lafayette County road right-of-way — boring or trenching for a utility, a road crossing, a driveway or culvert tie-in — the County requires a right-of-way permit, and conditions it on a surety bond posted with Lafayette County Public Works. The bond guarantees that you complete the work in accordance with the permit and properly restore the right-of-way.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and Lafayette County (the obligee). If you fail to complete or restore the work, the County can recover against the bond to put the right-of-way back in proper condition.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County a claim, you repay the surety. Applicants who finish their work and restore the road right-of-way properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
