Harrison County, OH Special Hauling Permit Bond
Overview
Hauling oversized or overweight loads through Harrison County, Ohio? You need a Special Hauling Permit Bond before you move an inch on county roads. This bond guarantees that you will repair any damage your loads cause to Harrison County's roadways, bridges, and infrastructure. It's a county-level requirement — not a state license — and it protects the county from the cost of wear and tear your heavy hauling operations create.
Who Needs This Bond?
Picture this: you've got a permitted load — heavy equipment, oversized machinery, or a superload — and Harrison County is in your route. Any carrier, contractor, or hauler who applies for a Special Hauling Permit from Harrison County is required to secure this bond. That includes construction companies moving equipment, energy sector operators transporting turbines or pipe, and freight carriers with loads that exceed standard legal weight or dimension limits. If Harrison County issued you a permit application, this bond is part of completing it.
What is this Bond For?
Harrison County requires this bond to protect its road infrastructure from damage caused by heavy or oversized hauling operations. As the principal, you are bonded to the county — the obligee — to ensure that any roadway or bridge damage resulting from your permitted hauls gets repaired or compensated. If your loads damage county property and you don't make it right, Harrison County can file a claim against this bond to recover those costs. The bond does not cover your cargo or your equipment — it covers the county's infrastructure.
When is it Required?
Before Harrison County will issue your Special Hauling Permit, this bond must already be in place. You cannot schedule your haul, begin movement, or finalize your permit without it. The county needs proof of bonding as a condition of permit approval — meaning the bond comes first, then the permit, then the load moves. Do not wait until the day of your haul to secure this bond.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within Harrison County, Ohio. It covers permitted hauls on county-maintained roads and infrastructure within Harrison County's jurisdiction. This is a local county requirement — it is separate from any Ohio state permits or bonds and does not substitute for them.
