About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the street excavator bond guarantees

The Town of Windsor licenses street excavators who open or excavate in town streets and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. Before any utility tie-in, road opening, or trench in the public way, the excavator must hold the bond.

The bond runs to the Town of Windsor as obligee. It guarantees you complete the work to the town’s specifications and restore the street 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 $10,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Excavators who backfill, compact, and repave to spec treat this as a license formality. We issue the town-required $10,000 amount at a flat 3% with no credit check.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Windsor street excavator bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for everyone. The $10,000 is set by the town, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Fixed permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many excavators have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don’t need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the Windsor license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
