What the street opening bond actually covers
A street opening permit bond is the Borough of Medford Lakes’ 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 Borough’s standards after the work is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Borough of Medford Lakes (the obligee). If you leave the surface unrestored or below standard, the Borough can recover against the bond up to the $3,000 penal sum.
The bond must stay active while your permit is open. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $3,000 filing continuous for whatever term you choose.
