What this bond does

This offering addresses a highway right-of-way permit bond request for Houston County, Alabama. The county's published policy requires a work permit before work on county roads or county-maintained rights-of-way; use your permit correspondence to identify the separate bond conditions.

Who needs it
People or businesses asked to provide a bond for work on a Houston County road or county-maintained right-of-way in Alabama.
Who it protects
The issued form identifies the protected recipient and the road-work obligation it secures. Match those conditions to the county's request rather than assuming the bond covers every obligation under your construction contract.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Work Permit Procedures

To perform any type of work on county-maintained roads or rights-of-way, applicants are required to obtain a formal work permit from the Houston County Engineer’s office. This requirement is established under the authority granted by Alabama Code, 11-3-10, which allows the county to control and manage its infrastructure.

Unauthorized work performed on county roads may result in legal consequences, including potential prosecution for civil or criminal offenses such as trespass, damage to public property, or criminal mischief.

Policy Governance

The guidelines regarding road and right-of-way utility work are documented within the Houston County Commission Policy Manual. These regulations were originally adopted in 1995 and have undergone subsequent amendments to reflect current county oversight policies.

Match the request, then purchase

Use the applicant name and road-work description from the County Engineer's written bond request. Check whether the requested bond concerns a specific location or a broader scope before entering the amount and dates.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab to begin the application. Once the bond is issued, check its details and follow the county's delivery directions. The work permit must still be obtained before work begins.
