Prince George's County, MD Site/Road Permit Bond
Overview
Contractors and developers working in Prince George's County roads and public rights-of-way are required to post a Site/Road Permit Bond before breaking ground. This bond guarantees that any disturbance to county-maintained roadways, curbs, sidewalks, or right-of-way infrastructure will be fully restored to county standards. If work is left incomplete or the site is not properly repaired, Prince George's County can make a claim against the bond to recover restoration costs. It protects the county and the public from the financial burden of a contractor's unfinished or substandard work.
Who Needs This Bond?
Utility contractors cutting into county roads to run lines, developers grading or accessing a site via public right-of-way, and construction companies pulling street or road permit work in Prince George's County all need this bond. Any entity that applies for a site or road permit from Prince George's County and disturbs public infrastructure is the target applicant. If the county's permitting office has told you a surety bond is required before your permit is issued, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect Prince George's County from the cost of restoring roadways, curbs, gutters, and right-of-way areas disturbed during permitted site or road work. It holds the bonded contractor financially accountable for completing the work and returning public infrastructure to its pre-disturbance condition. Prince George's County is the obligee — meaning the county holds the bond and has the right to file a claim if the contractor fails to meet permit conditions. The bond is not insurance for the contractor; it is a financial guarantee made to the county on the contractor's behalf.
When is it Required?
Before Prince George's County issues a site or road permit, the permitting authority will require proof of this bond. That means you need to secure and file the bond as part of your permit application — you cannot begin work until the bond is accepted. The bond must remain in force for the duration of the permitted work and any required inspection or restoration period. Letting the bond lapse before the county releases your permit obligations can put your permit in jeopardy.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within Prince George's County, Maryland, and is a local county requirement — not a Maryland state license bond. It covers permitted work performed in county-controlled rights-of-way, road corridors, and public site areas within county jurisdiction. Work in neighboring jurisdictions or on state-controlled roads would require separate bonding through the appropriate authority.
