About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way bond actually covers

A right-of-way bond is a municipal-protection guarantee. When you open a New Milford street or work within the public right-of-way, the Town of New Milford wants a financial backstop that you’ll restore the road surface and not leave the public way damaged or unsafe.

It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of New Milford (the obligee). If you fail to backfill, repave, or restore a cut to the Town’s standard — or you damage town property — the Town can recover against the bond.

Because the Town sizes the bond to the specific work, you enter the amount on your permit and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

Town of New Milford — right-of-way / street-opening permitThe Town of New Milford requires this bond as a condition of a right-of-way / street-opening permit; the bond amount and terms are set by the Town of New Milford (Department of Public Works).
