What it is and who needs it.
What the perpetual right-of-way bond covers
Fort Bend County conditions placing cable, conduit, and/or pole lines in the county right-of-way on a surety bond. This is a perpetual (continuous) bond — rather than bonding each job separately, it stays in force as a standing guarantee for the utility's right-of-way work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Fort Bend County (the obligee). The bond stands behind your restoring county roads and right-of-way after line work, and your compliance with the County's right-of-way and utility-placement rules.
Fort Bend County sets the bond amount through its Engineering / right-of-way permitting office. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 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.
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 Fort Bend County. Submit the executed bond to Fort Bend County to support your right-of-way / utility line work. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
