Colorado County requires a fixed $100,000 bond to permit superheavy or oversize loads over its roads and bridges — ours is $1,000 flat, the price set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Permit bonds are simple. Here is the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the County for your superheavy / oversize permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Colorado County, in southeast Texas between Houston and San Antonio, permits superheavy and oversize loads that move over its county roads and bridges. Because those loads can damage pavement and structures the County maintains, it conditions the permit on a $100,000 surety bond.
The bond is a damage-repair guarantee: it protects the County if a permitted move damages a road, bridge or culvert. Colorado County — the obligee — can recover the cost of repair against the bond up to the $100,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County, you repay the surety. Haulers who route within their permit and avoid damage treat the $100,000 bond as a one-time permit formality.
$1,000 flat, no credit review, bond often issued in the same sitting. Free until issued.
