Navarro County Commissioners Court, TX Right of Way Bond
Overview
Navarro County has a clear requirement for anyone working within or crossing its public right of way: you must post a Right of Way Bond before the Navarro County Commissioners Court will authorize your project. This bond guarantees that you will restore the right of way to its original condition after your work is complete. If you damage the road, drainage infrastructure, or adjacent property and fail to make repairs, the county has a financial remedy through the bond. This is a local county requirement — not a state license — specific to Navarro County, Texas.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told you need this bond before Navarro County will let you dig, bore, or construct anything within a county-maintained right of way. Contractors, utility companies, pipeline operators, and developers who need access to or across a Navarro County road or easement typically trigger this requirement. If you're pulling a right of way permit from the Navarro County Commissioners Court, this bond is part of that process. Without it, the county will not authorize your work to begin.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Navarro County and the public from costs associated with damage to county rights of way caused by permitted work. If you cut into a road bed, install a culvert, run a utility line, or bore under a county road, you are responsible for restoring the site properly. The bond ensures that if you walk away or leave the right of way in worse condition than you found it, the county can make a claim to fund repairs. It is a performance guarantee, not insurance for your own operations.
When is it Required?
Before any permitted work begins, this bond must already be on file with the Navarro County Commissioners Court. The county will not issue your right of way permit until the bond is in place. Showing up to the job site without the bond — or submitting a permit application without it — will halt your project before it starts. Timing matters: secure this bond as early in your permitting process as possible to avoid delays.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within Navarro County, Texas, under the authority of the Navarro County Commissioners Court. It covers work performed in county-maintained rights of way — roads, easements, and drainage corridors under county jurisdiction. It does not apply to state highways, municipal streets in Corsicana or other cities, or rights of way outside Navarro County.
