What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation bond actually covers
Under Ohio Revised Code 5589.10, anyone who excavates in or places anything within a county road right of way must first get a permit from the road authority — here, the Greene County Engineer's Office. The Engineer conditions the excavation permit on a surety bond.
The bond is a public-property restoration guarantee — it protects Greene County and the public by ensuring you restore the road, berm, and right of way to their original condition after you excavate. The amount is sized to the cost of that restoration and set by the Engineer.
We issue the amount the Engineer set, at a flat 3% with no credit check, on the form the Engineer approves. If your contract or permit doesn't name a figure yet, confirm it with the Engineer's Office before you apply.
