What it is and who needs it.
What the street opening bond covers
Spartanburg County requires a permit before anyone cuts, bores, trenches, or otherwise opens a county road, shoulder, or 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 road to County standards after the work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and Spartanburg County (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored or the patch 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. Contractors who backfill, compact, and patch to County spec treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue it at a flat $100, and the application collects no credit information.
