What it is and who needs it.
What the road bond actually covers
A county road bond is a damage guarantee to the Carroll County Commissioners. When heavy trucks, drilling rigs, or construction traffic use county roads, the county wants a financial backstop that the roads will be repaired if your operation damages them.
Carroll County sits in Ohio's Utica shale region, where oil-and-gas hauling, pipeline work, and aggregate trucking put real wear on rural county roads. The road bond — sometimes called a road-use or haul bond — stands behind that wear.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Carroll County Commissioners (the obligee). We issue the amount the county set, with premiums set at 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

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.
How to file it
File with the county. Submit the executed bond to the Carroll County Commissioners to satisfy the road-use requirement. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
