What the street opening bond actually covers
A street opening permit bond is the City of Elizabeth’s assurance that the public road you cut into goes back the way it was. It guarantees you restore the pavement, curb, and right-of-way to the City’s standards after the work is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Elizabeth (the obligee). If you leave the surface unrestored or below standard, the City can recover against the bond to fix it.
The City sets the amount on your permit, usually tied to the size and surface type of the opening. We issue that amount at a flat 3%, $275 minimum, on the form the City names.
