IN INDOT single permit bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
INDOT issues a permit for any work in a state highway right-of-way — a driveway connection, utility line, or other encroachment — and conditions it on a single highway permit bond. The bond guarantees you do the work to standard and restore the right-of-way. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — INDOT sets the amount.

What it is and who needs it.
What the permit bond actually covers
INDOT controls the state highway right-of-way under IC 8-23. Before you build a driveway connection, run a utility line, or otherwise work in the right-of-way, you pull an INDOT permit — and the permit comes with a surety bond guaranteeing you do the work to the department’s standards and restore the right-of-way afterward.
A single highway permit bond covers one specific permit / project. This "Other" version is the catch-all for non-broadband work — driveways, utility crossings, and miscellaneous encroachments. INDOT sets the bond amount for that scope; the department’s broadband corridor work is handled under a separate broadband permit.
If you damage the roadway, leave the right-of-way unrestored, or violate the permit, INDOT can recover against the bond. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount on your permit from $100, with no credit information collected in the application — same honest pricing as every bond we write.
