What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A highway right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the Town of Farmington. When you open the road, install a driveway apron, or run a utility line in the public right of way, the Town wants a financial backstop that you'll restore the pavement and right of way to its prior condition.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Farmington (the obligee). If you leave the right of way damaged or fail to restore it per the permit, the Town can recover against the bond to make the repairs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right of way cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
