What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
Under Ohio Revised Code 5589.10, anyone who works in or places anything within a county road right of way must first get a permit from the road authority — in this case the Franklin County Engineer's Office. The Engineer conditions that permit on a surety bond.
This is the single-job bond: it covers one permit or one job, sized to the cost of restoring the right of way you disturb. The bond is a public-property restoration guarantee — it protects the county and the public by ensuring you restore the road, berm, and right of way to their original condition.
All bonds must be on a form approved by the Franklin County Engineer. We issue the amount the Engineer set, at a flat 3% with no credit check. If you run multiple jobs a year, the annual blanket version usually costs less per job.
