What it is and who needs it.
What the street opening bond actually guarantees
A street opening bond is a restoration guarantee to the county. When you open a county road to install a utility lateral, a driveway connection, or a tie-in, Ocean County wants assurance that the road, curb, and right-of-way are put back to its standard — and that the patch holds through the warranty period.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Ocean County (the obligee). If you leave an opening unrestored or the restoration fails, the county can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the county, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore cleanly and pass inspection treat it as a permit formality. We issue the amount the county set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
