What the bond actually guarantees
A right-of-way permit bond filed with the Township of Montclair is a restoration guarantee — that any work you do in the public right-of-way is completed properly and the surface is put back to the Township's standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Montclair (the obligee). If you damage or fail to restore the right-of-way, Montclair can recover against the bond up to the $2,000 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 $2,000 filing continuous for whatever term you choose.
