What it is and who needs it.
What the Waterbury concessionaire bond actually guarantees
A concessionaire operating a food, beverage, or service stand on Waterbury property — a park, a city facility, or a city-run event — does so under a concession agreement or permit, and the City of Waterbury conditions that arrangement on a surety bond. The bond backs your performance of the agreement’s terms and gives the City recourse if a concessionaire’s conduct causes a covered loss.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Waterbury (the obligee), with the City and the public as the protected parties. If a concessionaire fails to meet the agreement’s obligations, the City or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Waterbury’s parks and recreation staff set the bond amount as part of the concession agreement rather than by a fixed citywide ordinance figure; confirm your required amount and term with the City department overseeing your concession, and we issue what it requires.

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 City. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Waterbury department handling your concession — typically the Bureau of Parks or Bureau of Recreation. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
