The City of Atlantic City requires a sidewalk permit bond before you construct, repair, or replace a public sidewalk or curb in the City. The City sets the amount on your permit — we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Your business details, the bond amount the City required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond to the City of Atlantic City's Construction or Engineering office with your sidewalk permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your Atlantic City permit and the premium updates.
A sidewalk permit bond is a restoration and workmanship guarantee to the City of Atlantic City. When you construct, repair, or replace a public sidewalk or curb, the City wants assurance the work meets its specifications and that the surface is left safe and properly restored.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Atlantic City (the obligee), with the public protected. If the sidewalk work is left defective, unsafe, or non-compliant within the guarantee period, the City can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who build sidewalks to spec treat the bond as a permit formality.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
