About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Plymouth excavating bond guarantees

Before you excavate in or open a town road in Plymouth — for a utility tie-in, a driveway, a drainage connection, or any work that disturbs the public way — the Town of Plymouth requires a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of the excavating permit.

The bond runs to the Town of Plymouth as obligee. It guarantees that you complete the work to the town’s specifications and restore the road and right-of-way so the town is left whole. If you abandon a trench or leave a failed patch, the town can recover its restoration cost against the bond up to the $5,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, compact, and repave to spec treat this as a permit formality. We issue the town-required $5,000 amount at $100, and the application collects no credit information.

Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don’t need one; most applications approve instantly.
