What it is and who needs it.
What the highway permit bond actually guarantees
Southbury’s Highway Division maintains the town’s roads, bridges, and sidewalks, and it supports the driveway permit and street excavation permit program by inspecting new driveway construction and utility work within town roads. Before it issues either permit, the Division requires a surety bond that stands behind the restoration of any pavement opened or disturbed by the work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of Southbury (the obligee). If a driveway apron or excavation is left unrestored or not built to town specification, Southbury can recover against the bond to finish or repair the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. We have not cited a specific municipal code section for this requirement because it is administered at the Highway Division permit level; confirm your required amount with the Town, and we will match it.
