About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Simsbury right-of-way bond covers

When you open a Simsbury road, cut a sidewalk, or work in the town right of way, the Town of Simsbury wants a financial guarantee that you will restore the surface and follow the conditions of your permit. The bond is posted with your right-of-way permit through the Department of Public Works.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Simsbury (the obligee). If you leave a trench unrestored, damage town infrastructure, or abandon permitted work, the town can recover its repair costs against the bond.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right of way and close out their permits treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Town of Simsbury — Department of Public WorksThe Town of Simsbury requires a right-of-way permit bond as a condition of its right-of-way / road-opening permit; the bond amount and terms are set by the Town of Simsbury Department of Public Works. Confirm the required penal sum on your Simsbury permit before you file.

After you buy

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

File with the Town of Simsbury. Submit the executed bond to Simsbury's Public Works office with your right-of-way permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the town insists.

What sets the price

The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $100,000.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount the Town of Simsbury set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
