What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When you open or work in a Town of Belmont road — a new driveway cut, a utility trench, an excavation in the right-of-way — the town wants assurance that you put the road back the way you found it. The $5,000 road damage bond is that assurance, posted as a condition of your permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Belmont (the obligee). If you damage the town's road and don't repair it to the standard the permit requires, the town can recover its restoration cost against the bond, up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors and homeowners who patch the road and pass the town's final inspection treat the bond as a permit formality, and the bond is released once the work is accepted.
