What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond covers
Greenville County requires a permit before anyone encroaches on, cuts, bores, or places work within a county right-of-way — and conditions that permit on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond runs to the County as obligee and guarantees you restore the right-of-way to County standards after the work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and Greenville County (the obligee). If you leave an encroachment unrestored or the work fails and the County has to repair it, the County can recover its cost against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the County takes a wet-ink original, the executed bond is mailed; we e-deliver a copy the same day. We issue it at a flat $125, and no credit check.

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 Greenville County. The wet-ink original arrives by mail, ready to file with your right-of-way encroachment / work permit application.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $125 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
