Term & renewal
Term: Runs with the road-approach or road-use permit; counties commonly hold it for a period after the county accepts the work.
Renewal: Per-permit, or per the county’s annual authorisation.
Filing
Filed with the Washington county public-works department that issues your road-approach or road-use permit. The amount is determined by the county engineer against the estimated cost of restoring or repairing the county right-of-way rather than fixed by ordinance, and counties commonly accept an assignment of funds or a cashier’s cheque in place of a surety bond, so the bond is listed here and the required amount is confirmed when your permit is reviewed. It guarantees that the county road is restored and that the permit conditions are met.
