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.

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 Town of Belmont. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Belmont Highway Department / Selectmen’s office for your road or driveway permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
