What this bond does
This is the Mobile County right-of-way offering, separate from the City of Mobile product. The county's published requirements connect bonding to utility and encroachment-related work and place permit review with the County Engineering Office.

Questions about this bond
Is the City of Mobile bond the same offering?
No. This page identifies Mobile County. Use the authority requesting the permit and bond to choose the corresponding offering; a Mobile address alone does not decide the recipient.
Is there a standard amount for every job?
The county's published requirements say the department determines the amount case by case. Use the amount assigned for your work.
Does the county make a driveway exception?
Its published bonding requirement excepts installation of a second residential driveway. Confirm applicability with the county; do not extend that wording to every driveway project.
Does the bond replace the liability certificate?
No. Mobile County lists the surety bond and the general liability certificate as separate requirements for the described work. Keep both in the permit process where applicable.
