The Town of New Milford requires a bond before you open or work within the public right-of-way — for utility cuts, street openings, or excavation in a town road. The Town sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Town. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the Town required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your Town of New Milford permit and the premium updates.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Town of New Milford set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
