What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
When a utility, contractor, or property owner needs to build, cut, bore, or place facilities within a Georgia state highway right-of-way, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) issues an encroachment or driveway permit — and often requires a performance bond with it.
The bond guarantees the permittee will comply with all stipulations, requirements, and specifications of the permit, complete the work to GDOT standards, and restore the right-of-way. It can also extend to any removal or corrective action GDOT determines is necessary, protecting the state's infrastructure and the public.
Because the amount tracks the work, the figure is whatever GDOT sets on your permit. Enter that amount and apply — pricing starts from $100, the application collects no credit information, and your exact price appears before you pay. Note that some local governments have their own right-of-way bonds — this page is the GDOT (state) performance bond.
