Pierce County street obstruction bonds.
$100 flat.
Pierce County requires a fixed $5,000 bond before you obstruct a county road, lane, or right-of-way under a Public Works permit. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When you close, narrow, or obstruct a county road or right-of-way in Pierce County, the county wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the road surface and right-of-way to its prior condition and follow the terms of your obstruction permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Pierce County (the obligee). If you damage the right-of-way and fail to repair it, or abandon the obstruction without restoring the road, the county can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way and close out the permit cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality.
