What it is and who needs it.
What the permit bond actually covers
Texas counties may permit the movement of superheavy or oversize loads over their roads and can require a surety bond as a condition of the permit. The bond stands behind the cost of repairing any damage the haul causes to county roads, bridges, or culverts along the route.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Leon County (the obligee). If your overweight or oversize move damages a county road or bridge and you do not repair it, the county can recover the cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Carriers who route carefully and leave the roads as they found them treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount Leon County set and see your price, from $100, at the application.

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 Leon County. Submit the executed bond with your oversize/overweight permit application to the county. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the county insists.
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.
