When you open, occupy, or work in the public right-of-way in New Milford — a borough street, sidewalk, or shoulder — the Borough of New Milford issues a right-of-way permit and requires a surety bond as a condition of it.
The bond guarantees that you restore the right-of-way to borough standards and don't leave the borough or the public to pay for your trench, patch, or damaged surface. The borough sets the amount based on the scope of the work and the cost of proper restoration.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the Borough of New Milford (the obligee). If the work isn't restored properly, the borough can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Borough of New Milford set — most applicants see instant approval, with pricing from $100.
