NV DOT right of way bonds.
From $100. 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 premiums start from $100, with no credit section in the application.

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; premiums start from $100, with no credit section in the application.
