What this bond does

Provide accepted security for covered encroachment work in Greenville County-maintained rights-of-way.

Who needs it
Permit applicants, contractors and utilities with a county road, connection or utility-work security request.
Who it protects
The county’s accepted condition addresses the permitted right-of-way undertaking. Ordinance 5779 separately places restoration and indemnity duties on the applicant; a bond does not replace those duties or the required permit.

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.

Count the active permits for the activity

The county’s May 2026 ordinance lists $5,000 per five active permits for specified activities, including road connections, utility pipelines, electrical/communication lines, small wireless facilities and stormwater facilities.

Driveway connections with curbing/gutter appear in that group; those without curbing/gutter have a different listed treatment. Ask the Division to classify your work and confirm any performance-based increase rather than applying $5,000 to every encroachment.

Separate permit validity from bond coverage

The ordinance calls for at least two years of bond coverage, while an encroachment permit is valid for one year from approval. These are different periods.

Continuous-bond return requires a request and the ordinance’s no-active-permit and acceptable/corrected-work conditions. Cooperative-agreement participants have a separate exemption from individual permit bond submissions; participation does not remove permitting duties.

Confirm delivery, then complete county filing

Prepare the applicant, drawings, work locations, permit count, requested condition and dates. Have the provider confirm the match and what its MAIL label means for issuance and delivery; that label alone does not establish a county filing method or arrival date.

Deliver the properly executed security through the Division’s current instructions and obtain the encroachment permit. Purchase does not approve a cut, bore or installation, and final restoration is separate from discharge.

Questions about this bond

Is $5,000 required for every county encroachment?

No. The ordinance distinguishes activities and groups several requirements per five active permits. Confirm the actual classification and amount.

Does a one-year permit mean one-year bond coverage?

No. Ordinance 5779 separately calls for at least two years of bond coverage.

Does MAIL tell me where the county accepts the bond?

No. Verify provider delivery and the county’s actual submission instructions separately.
