Before Tulare County issues an encroachment permit for work in a county road, sidewalk or drainage area, it wants a bond on file that pays for repairs if the job is left unfinished or the right of way is not restored. A surety bond covers that for an annual premium, so you can keep your cash on the job.
The County of Tulare, through its Resource Management Agency Permit Center, issues encroachment permits for construction, excavation and similar work that affects county maintained roads and public infrastructure. The encroachment bond guarantees the permittee will follow the permit conditions and restore the county right of way. The county sets the bond amount for the permit, so confirm the amount, the current bond form and the filing steps with the Permit Center before the bond is issued.

Contractors, property owners and others who need to cut, dig, pour or build within a Tulare County road right of way apply for an encroachment permit from the Resource Management Agency. Typical jobs include driveway approaches, curb, gutter and sidewalk work, and sewer, water or other service connections that cross county property. The bond is part of that permit, and the County of Tulare is the obligee.
The bond promises the county that the work will be done under the terms of the permit and that the road, sidewalk or drainage facility will be put back in proper condition when the job is finished. If the permittee walks away or leaves damage behind, the county can claim against the bond to pay for the repairs. The permittee then has to repay the surety for any claim it pays.
The county decides the bond amount for each permit, and it can depend on the type and size of the work. Contact the Tulare County RMA Permit Center in Visalia before you order, and ask for the required amount and the county's current encroachment bond form. Having the bond written on the county's form, in the exact name on your permit application, keeps the permit from stalling at the counter.
You pay a premium, not the full bond amount. The surety sets it after looking at the applicant's credit and, for contractors, their business history. Better credit generally means a lower rate.
The county sets the amount for each permit based on the work involved. Ask the RMA Permit Center for the figure that applies to your job before ordering the bond.
