NV DOT right of way bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.

When you occupy or do work inside a Nevada state highway right-of-way, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) issues an occupancy permit under NRS Chapter 408 and can condition it on a surety bond. The District Engineer sets the amount — commonly tied to the estimated project cost — and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right of way bond actually covers

Nevada controls work inside its state highway rights-of-way through NRS Chapter 408 and the regulations at NAC 408. Any facility or encroachment on a state highway right-of-way must be authorized by an occupancy permit, and NDOT can require a surety bond as a condition of that permit.

The bond is a performance and restoration guarantee: it backs your obligation to do the permitted work to NDOT's standards and to restore the right-of-way. If a permittee fails to complete or properly restore the work, NDOT can recover against the bond to bring the site back up to code.

Because the bond is tied to a specific permit, the amount is set by the local District Engineer — commonly a percentage of the estimated cost of the work, with higher figures for larger or longer facilities. Confirm the amount on your permit; whatever it is, we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.

NRS Chapter 408 / NAC 408 (occupancy permits)NRS Chapter 408 and the regulations at NAC 408 require a permit to occupy or use a Nevada state highway right-of-way, and authorize NDOT to require a surety bond as a condition of the permit. The bond amount is set by the local District Engineer — commonly tied to the estimated cost of the permitted work — and for certain telecommunications facilities NAC 408 prescribes specific figures. Confirm your required amount with the NDOT district office issuing the permit.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Nevada DOT right of way bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The bond amount itself is set by your local NDOT District Engineer — commonly a percentage of the estimated cost of the permitted work. Enter the figure on your permit and the quote updates.
Who sets the bond amount? +
Your local NDOT District Engineer, on the occupancy permit. There is no single statewide figure — it is sized to the specific work, and for some telecommunications facilities NAC 408 prescribes a set amount. Send us your permit and we'll confirm.
Is there a credit check? +
No — this bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you complete the permitted work to NDOT's standards and restore the right-of-way. If you don't and NDOT has to remedy it, the agency can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Where do I file it? +
With the local NDOT district office that issues your occupancy permit. We provide the executed bond ready to submit with your permit application.
