Brevard County, Florida Right-of-Way Bonds

The Brevard County Public Works Engineering Department requires a Right-of-Way Performance Bond to be approved for a permit to do any commercial or industrial improvement within a right-of-way or easement.

In most cases, the Department will also require a Right-of-Way Maintenance Bond of the contractor once construction has been completed.

SECURE YOUR BOND

According to the Public Works Engineering Department, the Performance Bond limit must be no less than 125% of the total cost of the project. As for the Maintenance Bond, the limit is to be equal to 25% of the total cost of expected improvements that are to be made to the right-of-way area once the original project has been executed.

At Jet, those with bond limits up to $10,000 can purchase their Performance and Maintenance Bond at a guaranteed price of $100 for a one-year term. Simply select the “Secure Your Bond” button above to get started!

If you are seeking a larger limit ($25k or higher), Jet’s prices will be a small percentage of the bond limit and are based on a soft credit check of the applicant.

Additional bond limits and Jet’s preferred tier rates can be found in the price chart below.

According to Chapter 86 of the Brevard County Municode, the contractor must follow all permit regulations when it comes to right-of-way/driveway easement installation projects, repairs, or maintenance work. Basically, following design standards/county requirements, completing the maintenance in a timely manner, and avoiding causing damage are the best ways to ensure compliance.

If a contractor fails to comply with rules and regulations, funds from the Right-of-Way Bond may be used as compensation to the county themselves or a person of the public for any financial losses incurred. In most cases, the cost of hiring a new contractor to complete the right of way work properly will be covered by the bond claim.
