The Township of Mahwah requires a soil-movement permit bond before you move, import, or remove soil under its soil-movement ordinance. It guarantees the earth-moving is completed to the approved permit — grades, drainage, and erosion control. Pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price appears at the application. The application collects no credit information.

A soil-movement permit bond is a completion-and-restoration guarantee. When you move, import, or remove soil, the Township of Mahwah wants assurance the earth-moving is finished to the approved permit — final grades met, drainage maintained, erosion controlled, and the site left stable.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Mahwah (the obligee). If the work is abandoned, left off-grade, or allowed to erode, the township can complete it and recover its cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the township, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish the soil work to permit get the bond released. We issue the amount the township set, pricing from $100, with no credit fields in the application.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Township of Mahwah set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
