What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When you obstruct a San Juan County road or the public right-of-way — equipment, materials, a closure, a container — San Juan County conditions the permit on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond guarantees you follow the permit conditions and restore the right-of-way to its prior condition.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and San Juan County (the obligee). If you damage the road, leave it unrestored, or violate the permit, the County can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the permit and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a permit formality. The County set the amount at $5,000; we issue it at $100 flat, and no credit check.

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.
