What it is and who needs it.
What the permit bond actually guarantees
The Town of Groton conditions certain permits — for excavation, road openings, driveway aprons, and other work touching public property — on a surety bond. The bond gives the town a financial backstop so the permitted work, and any restoration of the road or public surface, is completed properly.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Groton (the obligee). If the work or restoration is left incomplete or defective, the town can recover against the bond to finish or repair it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who complete the work and pass inspection treat the bond as a permit formality, and it is released on the town’s sign-off.
