The Navarro County Commissioners Court requires a right-of-way bond before a contractor or utility cuts, bores, or excavates within a county road or easement. The County sets the amount on your permit — pricing is 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum.
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the County. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the County required, and the effective date — that is the application.
No credit check up to $100,000.
Submit the executed bond with your Navarro County right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the County insists.
A county right-of-way bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee. When you bore, trench, or excavate in a Navarro County road, ditch, or easement — to install utilities, a driveway culvert, or a pipeline crossing — the County wants assurance the road is restored to its prior condition and County specifications are met.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Navarro County through its Commissioners Court / Road & Bridge department (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way and fail to restore it, the County can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, compact, and restore to County spec treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the County set; pricing starts from $100 and no credit check up to $100,000.
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.
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.
File with the Commissioners Court. Submit the executed bond with your Navarro County right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the County insists.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the County set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
