What is this bond?

The DuPage County Highway Permit Bond is a surety bond that guarantees contractors will perform work on or near county-maintained roads safely and according to local standards. It ensures that any disrupted public property, such as sidewalks or roadways, is properly restored to its original condition. If a contractor causes damage or fails to complete the work appropriately, the bond provides a mechanism for the county to recover repair costs.

Who needs it?

Contractors, developers, and utility companies undertaking construction, excavation, or landscaping projects within the DuPage County highway right-of-way typically need this bond. It is generally required by the local transportation authority before a permit is issued for work that alters or impacts public roads and adjacent lands.

Why is it required?

DuPage County requires this bond to protect public infrastructure and taxpayer funds from substandard workmanship or unfinished projects. By mandating the bond, the county ensures that contractors bear the financial responsibility for repairing any damage caused during their permitted work. This helps maintain the safety and integrity of the local highway system without putting financial burden on the municipality.

Who determines the bond amount I need for my highway permit?

Can I submit my highway permit bond electronically?

No, a surety bond is separate from business liability insurance. The highway permit bond protects the county and the public from incomplete or damaging right-of-way work, while liability insurance protects your business against third-party bodily injury or property damage claims.
