What this bond does

Security for approved access or encroachment work within Houston County, Georgia ROW when the County requires it.

Who needs it
The applicant identified in the County's access/encroachment approval and bond request.
Who it protects
The County's procedure addresses timely completion to the approved scope and corrective work if construction is incomplete or unacceptable, rather than a general contractor-license obligation.

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.

The engineer determines whether security is required

Section 2B of the County's published regulations allows a performance bond, escrow, or letter of credit depending on work scope. The reviewing engineer determines the requirement before approval and assigns an amount at 125% of current in-place construction unit prices. This is a work-specific calculation, not a fixed sum for every applicant or proof that each security form is interchangeable without approval.

Final inspection starts the stated security period

Section 2D-3 says security remains effective for 12 months from final inspection. Do not start that period at purchase or treat it as the permit's duration. Changes to approved plans require County permission. Bring the accepted form, applicant, recipient, assigned sum, dates, and delivery instructions to the provider. The option displays no fixed amount or term; Purchase Now opens Propeller. File the issued instrument and complete the County's actual approval and inspection process separately.

Questions about this bond

Is a bond required for every applicant?

The published procedure makes security depend on work scope and the reviewing engineer's determination. Obtain the actual County request.

Does the 12-month period begin when I buy?

Section 2D-3 ties its security period to final inspection, not provider payment or application.

Does ROW approval authorize the entire private development?

The County distinguishes its ROW/access approval from onsite development approval. Confirm all applicable approvals for the project.
