What it is and who needs it.
What the curb bond actually guarantees
A curb bond is a restoration and workmanship guarantee to the county. When you set, cut, or replace curb in a county road or right-of-way — for a driveway apron, a corner, or a streetscape — Hudson County wants assurance the curb is built to standard and the right-of-way is restored.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Hudson County (the obligee). If the curb fails inspection or the right-of-way is left damaged, the county can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to standard and pass inspection treat it as a permit formality. We issue the amount the county set, pricing from $100, with no credit check up to $100,000 in the application.

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 Hudson County. Submit the executed bond with your curb / right-of-way permit to the Hudson County Engineering Department. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the county 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.
