What it is and who needs it.
What the apron bond actually covers
A driveway apron is the paved transition between a private driveway and a public road. When you cut into the road edge to build one in Kent, the Town of Kent wants a guarantee that the apron, the road surface, and the roadside drainage are restored to its standards.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Kent (the obligee). If the apron work damages the town road, blocks drainage, or isn’t finished to the permit’s conditions, the Town can recover against the bond.
Because the Town sizes the bond to the specific work, there is no single statewide figure — you enter the amount on your permit, and pricing runs from $100. No credit check up to $10,000 except for LLCs, so most applicants qualify instantly. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000 for individuals, partnerships and corporations (above that, a soft pull at most); for LLCs, one soft pull at every amount, never a hard inquiry.
