Florida South Florida Water Management District Right of Way (Corporation) Bond
Overview
Corporations seeking to work within or across South Florida Water Management District right-of-way must carry this bond before any activity begins.

Bond Titan makes it fast and simple to secure this bond online so your project timeline stays on track.
Who Needs This Bond?
Utility companies, pipeline contractors, and construction firms are the most common applicants for this bond. Any corporation that has applied for or received a right-of-way permit from the South Florida Water Management District to perform work within district-controlled lands or waterways will need it. If your company is encroaching on SFWMD property for any construction or infrastructure purpose, this bond is part of your permitting package.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the South Florida Water Management District if a permitted corporation fails to properly restore, repair, or maintain district right-of-way following approved work. It holds your company financially accountable for damage, incomplete restoration, or non-compliance with permit conditions. The district draws on the bond only if your company defaults on those obligations — it is not a performance guarantee for your client, but a protection for the district itself.
When is it Required?
Before the South Florida Water Management District issues a right-of-way permit to a corporation, this bond must be in place. You will typically be asked for it during the permit application review process, and the district will not release your permit until the executed bond is on file. If you are already working under a permit that is up for renewal, an active bond must remain in force throughout the permit term.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is required specifically for work within South Florida Water Management District right-of-way, which spans the southern Florida region including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and surrounding counties managed by the district. It is a district-level requirement administered by the SFWMD, not a state-issued contractor license bond. Work in other Florida water management districts would require separate bonding through those respective agencies.
