What is this bond?

The Henrico County Right of Way Permit Bond is a financial guarantee required by the county for contractors performing work within public roadways or easements. It ensures that the permit holder will complete the work safely and properly restore the public right-of-way to its original condition. If the contractor damages public property or abandons the project, the bond provides funds for the county to repair the area.

Who needs it?

General contractors, utility companies, and excavation professionals typically need this bond before beginning construction in Henrico County. Anyone applying for a right-of-way or land-disturbing permit that impacts public streets, sidewalks, or county-owned easements will likely be required to secure this coverage.

Why is it required?

Henrico County requires this bond to protect public infrastructure and taxpayer funds from incomplete or substandard contractor work. By mandating this bond, the county ensures they have a financial mechanism to fix damages or finish restorations if a contractor fails to meet their permit obligations. It ultimately holds construction professionals accountable for maintaining safe and accessible public roadways.
