About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the road use bond actually covers

When a business runs heavy, oversized, or repeated traffic over Polk County roads — construction, hauling, logging, energy, and industrial operations are the usual ones — the County can require a road use agreement to protect its roads. The agreement is backed by a surety bond.

Under Texas county-road law, the Commissioners Court (not the county judge) may require a bond sufficient to compensate the County for damage to the road. The bond shifts the cost of road damage to the bonded operator rather than to taxpayers, and guarantees you'll follow the terms of the road use agreement.

It is not insurance for you — if the County recovers against the bond for road damage or noncompliance, you repay the surety. Enter the amount the Commissioners Court set, and your price starts from $100; the application collects no credit information, and
