Acadia Parish Police Jury, LA Highway Permit/Road Use Bond
Overview
Working in or across Acadia Parish roads requires more than a permit — it requires a financial guarantee that protects the parish's infrastructure. This Highway Permit/Road Use Bond is that guarantee. It's issued in favor of the Acadia Parish Police Jury and assures that any damage caused to parish roadways during your permitted work will be repaired or compensated. Before your road use permit is approved, this bond must be in place.
Who Needs This Bond?
Utility contractors running lines beneath parish roads, pipeline companies crossing parish right-of-way, and construction crews hauling heavy loads over parish highways all need this bond. If the Acadia Parish Police Jury has told you that a Highway Permit or Road Use Permit requires a surety bond, this is the one. Any contractor or business whose work impacts Acadia Parish roads or right-of-way will be required to secure this bond before operations begin.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Acadia Parish from the cost of repairing road damage caused by permitted work or heavy vehicle use. You, as the principal, are obligated to restore any pavement, shoulders, or infrastructure disturbed during your permitted activity. If you fail to make those repairs, the Acadia Parish Police Jury — as obligee — can make a claim against the bond to recover those costs. It holds contractors financially accountable for the condition of parish roads after their work is done.
When is it Required?
When you apply for a highway permit or road use authorization through the Acadia Parish Police Jury, the bond is requested as a condition of permit issuance. You won't receive permit approval until the bond is executed and submitted. This typically happens before any equipment moves onto a parish road or any work in the right-of-way begins. Getting the bond in hand first removes the bottleneck between your application and your approved permit.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies specifically within Acadia Parish, Louisiana, and is required by the Acadia Parish Police Jury — not the state of Louisiana. It covers road use, encroachment, and permitted work within the parish's road network and right-of-way jurisdiction. It has no authority or application outside of Acadia Parish.
