The bond the Medina County Engineer requires to move oversize or overweight loads on county highways under an excess-loads permit. The County Engineer sets the amount; the premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, and your exact price appears at the application.
















County permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Small fixed-amount registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your registration or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A highway excess-loads permit bond is a damage guarantee. When you move an oversize or overweight load on Medina County highways, the County Engineer wants a financial backstop that any damage to county roads, bridges, or structures is paid for.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Medina County through the County Engineer (the obligee). If your excess load damages county highway infrastructure, the county can recover the cost of repair against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the permit term. We track it and notify you ahead of expiration so an active permit is never uncovered.
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.
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.
File with your excess-loads permit. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your registration or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
