About this bond

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 $275 with no credit check.

Greenville County right-of-way permit requirementGreenville County requires this $5,000 bond as a condition of a right-of-way encroachment / work permit; the bond amount and terms are set by Greenville County (Land Development / Public Works) under the County's right-of-way and land development ordinances. The $5,000 amount is named on the bond. Confirm the current requirement with the County — we issue the amount the County names.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Greenville County right-of-way bond? +
The premium is $275 — the flat 3% minimum on the fixed $5,000 bond amount. Same for every contractor. The $5,000 is set by the County, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to Greenville County if you fail to restore the right-of-way — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Why is this bond mailed? +
Greenville County takes a wet-ink original for this filing, so the executed bond is mailed to the address you provide. We e-deliver a copy the same day — apply early so the original arrives before your permit deadline.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don't need one.
Where do I file it? +
With Greenville County (Land Development / Public Works), alongside your right-of-way encroachment / work permit application. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
