What is this bond?

The Harris County Oversize, Overweight, Overlength, and Overheight Loads Bond is a financial guarantee required for moving vehicles or cargo that exceed standard size or weight limits on county roads.

This bond protects the county from financial loss related to roadway, bridge, or public property damage.

Who needs it?

Why is it required?
