What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor license bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the Borough of Eatontown. The Borough conditions your license on the bond so it has a financial backstop that you will follow the Borough’s construction codes, permit rules, and ordinances when you work in the Borough.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Borough of Eatontown (the obligee), with residents who hire you as the protected parties. If you violate the Borough’s contracting rules or leave permitted work non-compliant, a harmed party or the Borough can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and follow code treat the bond as a license formality.

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 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.
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 Borough. Submit the executed bond to the Borough of Eatontown Clerk or licensing office with your contractor license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Borough insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
