What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond covers
Halifax County controls work in its public right-of-way through its right-of-way / encroachment permitting. Before you excavate, bore, or install in county right-of-way, Halifax County requires a bond that stands behind restoring the right-of-way to county standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Halifax County (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way or fail to restore it, the county can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount Halifax County set, at the price shown at application — no credit check up to $100,000 required — on the bond form the county names.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
