What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way permit bond covers
The state highway right of way is the public land along Indiana’s state routes. Any work in it — laying utility lines, excavation, drainage, road repairs — requires an INDOT single highway permit, and because it’s public infrastructure, INDOT conditions the permit on a surety bond.
The bond guarantees you will complete the permitted work to INDOT’s standards and restore the right of way — pavement, shoulders, drainage, and grade — to its proper condition. If the work is left unfinished or damages the highway, INDOT can recover against the bond.
INDOT sets the penal sum to cover the scope of your specific 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.
