The Borough of Medford Lakes, NJ requires a $3,000 street opening permit bond before you cut into a Borough road — ours is $100 flat, the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal street opening bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — the application collects no credit information.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Borough of Medford Lakes. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information.
