Franklin County, OH Right of Way Permit (Single Job) Bond
Overview
Working in a Franklin County right of way? You need this bond before Franklin County will issue your single-job permit. It guarantees that you will restore the right of way — pavement, curbs, surfaces, and all disturbed areas — to county standards once your work is done. Bond Titan makes it fast to get bonded so you can pull your permit and get to work.
Who Needs This Bond?
Your situation: Franklin County told you a surety bond is required before they'll issue your right-of-way permit for a specific job. Contractors, utility crews, excavators, and anyone else opening, cutting, or disturbing a county right of way for a single project must carry this bond. It covers one job only — not an ongoing blanket authorization. If you have a permit number or a project address in Franklin County, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
Franklin County requires this bond to protect the public and the county's infrastructure. If your crew cuts a trench, installs a conduit, or disturbs pavement in a county right of way and fails to restore it properly, the bond gives the county a financial remedy to recover repair costs. You are the principal; Franklin County is the obligee. The bond is tied to a single permitted job, not your entire license or business.
When is it Required?
Before Franklin County will approve your right-of-way permit for this specific job, the bond must already be in place. You cannot break ground, start excavation, or begin any work in the right of way without the permit, and the permit won't issue without the bond on file. Get bonded first — then apply for your permit.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is valid only within Franklin County, Ohio. It satisfies a county-level requirement, not an Ohio state license requirement. It applies specifically to the single job or project location named on your permit application.
