Before you open, bore, or build in a Waller County, TX roadway or right-of-way, the county requires a permit and a surety bond standing behind your restoration. The county sets the amount on the permit — pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The application collects no credit information, and
















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 on your Waller County permit, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, and most applicants are approved and issued as soon as they pay.
Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application at the county. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
When you do work inside a Waller County, TX right-of-way — boring under a road, cutting pavement to lay utilities, building a driveway approach, or grading near a county road — the county issues a permit and conditions it on a surety bond. The bond stands behind your obligation to restore the roadway and right-of-way to county standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Waller County (the obligee), with the traveling public protected. If you leave the road damaged, fail to backfill or repave properly, or abandon the work, the county can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the county set starting from $100, with no credit section on the application.
Submit the application with the bond amount Waller County set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
