Before the Town of Wethersfield issues an excavation permit for work in its right-of-way, it requires a $10,000 bond guaranteeing you restore the area. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Fixed-amount permit bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Town of Wethersfield's Public Works office. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
An excavation-permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the Town of Wethersfield. When you excavate in the town right-of-way, the town wants assurance the pavement, curb, and base are restored to its specification — not left as a failing patch.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Wethersfield (the obligee). If you abandon the work or your restoration fails, the town can recover its repair costs against the bond, up to $10,000.
The bond stays in place for the permit period. Keep it active until the town accepts your restoration; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so a long job never lapses on a missed email.
These are the actual issuing fields. The application collects no credit information.
