What it is and who needs it.
What the encroachment bond actually covers
A UDOT encroachment & right-of-way bond is a restoration and performance guarantee for work within state highway right-of-way. When you install utilities, build an access, or otherwise encroach on a UDOT corridor, the department wants assurance you will perform the work to standard and restore the right-of-way.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Utah Department of Transportation (the obligee). If your work damages the highway or right-of-way and is not corrected, UDOT can recover the cost against the bond.
A statewide encroachment bond covers your permitted work across UDOT corridors rather than one site at a time. UDOT sets the amount on the permit — enter that figure and we show you the exact premium: 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
