About this bond

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.
