What it is and who needs it.
What the encroachment bond actually covers
An encroachment permit is required when any construction, utility, or maintenance work disturbs or controls traffic within the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) right-of-way — even a driveway apron, sidewalk, or utility connection can trigger it. UDOT requires a surety bond, not an insurance certificate, as a condition of the permit.
The bond is a performance & warranty bond: it guarantees you complete the permitted work to UDOT standards and restore the right-of-way, and it warrants that work against defects for a set period. Under UDOT’s utility accommodation rules, a separate bond is generally required for each encroachment permit, and the warranty coverage runs for a multi-year period after construction.
If the work is not completed or restored properly, UDOT can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. UDOT sets the amount per permit; pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
