Questions about this bond
When does the one-year term begin?
The published Permit Bond states one year from issuance. It is not measured from final work acceptance in that form.
Can the surety cancel it during that year?
The form says the surety cannot cancel before the fixed term expires. It separately allows continuation by certificate and county cancellation upon satisfactory completion.
Will the county review the permit before accepting the bond?
The Build Henrico ROW instructions say the permit is not routed for review until the bond is submitted and approved. Follow the county's current intake process.
Is a roadway defect bond the same instrument?
No. Henrico lists defect securities separately. Match the exact Permit Bond and scope requested for your ROW work.
