What it is and who needs it.
What the road opening bond covers
A road opening permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the county. Union County conditions a permit to open or cut a county-maintained road on this bond so that the pavement, base, and right-of-way you disturb are restored to the County standard.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Union County (the obligee). The County sets the amount based on the scope of the road work, so it is not a single fixed figure.
If you fail to restore the road properly, the County can recover against the bond to have the work done — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is the County’s assurance that the public road is put back right.
