The Township of Egg Harbor, New Jersey requires a $5,000 surety bond before it issues a right-of-way permit for work in the public right of way. Ours is $275 flat — 3% of $5,000 falls at the $275 minimum. The application is five minutes, with no credit check.
















Right-of-way permit bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, a short description of the work, and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section.
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 the Township of Egg Harbor right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which is below our $275 minimum — so the premium is $275, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price.
When a contractor opens, excavates, or works inside the public right of way — the roadway, shoulder, or sidewalk area the township controls — the Township of Egg Harbor conditions the permit on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your duty to restore the right of way and follow the township's permit conditions.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Township of Egg Harbor (the obligee). If a contractor leaves a cut unrestored, damages township infrastructure, or abandons the work, the township can recover against the bond to make the right of way whole.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts and close out their permits treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
