Indiana DOT miscellaneous permit bonds.

The miscellaneous permit handles work that doesn’t fall under a driveway or standard right-of-way category — and INDOT conditions it on a bond.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the miscellaneous permit bond covers

INDOT’s single highway permit program covers work in the state right of way by category — occupancy, driveways, and a miscellaneous category for work that doesn’t fit the standard buckets. Whatever the category, work in the right of way is conditioned on a surety bond.

The bond guarantees you will complete the permitted work to INDOT’s standards and restore the right of way to its proper condition. If the work is left unfinished or damages the highway, INDOT can recover against the bond to make it right.

INDOT sets the penal sum to cover the scope of your specific project, so it varies. 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.

IC 8-23-2 / 105 IAC 7 (INDOT highway permits)INDOT administers access to and work within state highway right of way under IC 8-23 and its permitting rules at 105 IAC 7. A single highway permit — including the miscellaneous category — is conditioned on a surety bond covering completion of the work and restoration of the right of way, in an amount INDOT sets for the project. Confirm the penal sum on your permit paperwork.
