What it is and who needs it.
What the obstruction bond actually guarantees
Spokane County Public Works permits work and staging that obstruct a County road, and conditions the permit on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a restoration and public-safety guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to obstruct the road safely, follow the permit, and restore the road when the obstruction is removed.
If the County has to repair the road or clear an obstruction you left behind, it can recover its costs against the bond. The bond protects the County and the traveling public from the consequences of an unrestored or unsafe road obstruction.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active while your permit is in force, so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
