What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
Greene County, through its County Engineer's office, controls work in county road rights-of-way. Before anyone opens a road, bores under it, sets a driveway approach, or runs utilities in the right-of-way, the County requires a permit — and a surety bond standing behind the restoration.
The bond is a guarantee to the County that you'll restore the road and right-of-way to county standards and follow the permit's terms. The amount is set by the County to match the scope of the work, so larger or more disruptive jobs carry a larger bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the County recovers against the bond for an unrestored cut or damaged road, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, compact, and repave to spec treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the County set.

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 Engineer. Submit the executed bond with your Greene County right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
What sets the price
