What it is and who needs it.
What the tree removal bond actually guarantees
A tree removal permit bond is a compliance and replacement guarantee to the Borough of Franklin Lakes. When you remove protected trees, the Borough wants assurance you will plant the required replacements, follow the conditions of the permit, and not damage trees you were not authorized to remove.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Borough of Franklin Lakes (the obligee). If you fail to plant the required replacement trees or violate the terms of the tree removal permit, the Borough can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the Borough, you repay the surety. Applicants who meet the replacement conditions treat the bond as a permit formality.
