What it is and who needs it.
What the driveway permit bond covers
When private property needs a driveway connection onto a state highway, the Indiana Department of Transportation issues a single highway permit for that one project. Because the work happens in the public right of way, INDOT conditions the permit on a surety bond.
The bond guarantees you will complete the driveway work to INDOT’s standards and restore the right of way — pavement, drainage, shoulders, and grade — to its proper condition. If the work is left unfinished or damages the highway, INDOT can recover against the bond to set it right.
INDOT sets the penal sum to cover the scope of your specific driveway, so it varies by project. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue whatever amount the permit names; pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
