What it is and who needs it.
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.

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 $2,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
