Alabama Montgomery County Highway Right of Way Permit Bond
Overview
Working in Montgomery County's highway right-of-way means you need more than a permit — you need a bond to back it. Montgomery County requires this surety bond before authorizing any work that disturbs, encroaches on, or otherwise affects the public highway right-of-way. It guarantees that you will restore the right-of-way to its original condition and comply with all permit terms. If you've been told to get bonded before your permit is issued, this is the bond you need.
Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors, utility companies, developers, and other entities planning to perform work within Montgomery County's highway right-of-way are the applicants for this bond. If you're digging, boring, paving, installing utilities, or placing any structure within the county's road corridor, Montgomery County Highway will require this bond as part of the permit process. It applies to both one-time projects and ongoing right-of-way operations within the county. Any party named as the permit holder is the party responsible for securing the bond.
What is this Bond For?
Montgomery County Highway issues right-of-way permits to control work that could damage or disrupt public roadways and their immediate surroundings. This bond protects the county by ensuring that the bonded contractor or permittee completes all required restoration work and follows every condition of the permit. If the work is left incomplete or the right-of-way is damaged and not repaired, the county can make a claim against this bond to recover the cost. The bond is not insurance for your crew — it's a financial guarantee to Montgomery County that you'll make things right.
When is it Required?
Permit application is the trigger. Montgomery County Highway will not issue a right-of-way permit until this bond is in place. Whether your project involves a single utility crossing or a phased construction effort along a county road, the bond must be secured and submitted before work begins. Missing this step can delay your permit approval and push back your project start date.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to Montgomery County, Alabama and is required by the Montgomery County Highway Department. It covers work performed within the highway right-of-way corridors under Montgomery County's jurisdiction. It is a local county requirement and does not satisfy right-of-way permit obligations in other Alabama counties or with the Alabama Department of Transportation.
