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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
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 $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
