What is this bond?

A Grand Traverse County Right of Way Bond is a commercial surety bond required for individuals or businesses performing work on public roads or rights-of-way within the county. It serves as a financial guarantee that the permitted work will be completed safely and the public property will be restored to its original condition or better.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically required for general contractors, utility companies, and developers who need to excavate, construct, or alter public roads, sidewalks, or drainage systems in Grand Traverse County, Michigan. Homeowners or property owners managing their own right-of-way improvements may also be required to secure this bond before receiving a permit.

Why is it required?

The local road commission or county government requires this bond to protect public infrastructure and taxpayers from financial loss if a contractor causes damage or abandons a project. It ensures funds are available to repair substandard work or finish incomplete projects within the county's right-of-way.
