The Township of Bloomfield requires a $2,000 bond before you build or replace sidewalks, curbs, driveways, gutters, or drains in the public right-of-way. Ours is $275 flat — the $275 minimum on a small fixed-amount bond. The application is five minutes, with no credit check.
















Small permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Small fixed permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Township of Bloomfield permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$2,000 bond × 3% = $60, which is below our $275 minimum — so the premium is $275, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A sidewalk and curb bond is a restoration and workmanship guarantee. When you build or replace sidewalks, curbs, driveways, gutters, or drains in the public right-of-way, the Township of Bloomfield wants assurance the work meets township standard and that any damage to the right-of-way is repaired.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Bloomfield (the obligee). If your work fails inspection or you leave the right-of-way damaged, the township can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the township, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to standard and pass inspection treat it as a permit formality. We issue the $2,000 amount, at a flat 3% ($275 minimum) with no credit check.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond does not have one.
