When you install, repair, or replace sidewalk, curb, or apron in the public right-of-way in Hillside, the Township of Hillside issues a sidewalk permit and requires a surety bond as a condition of it.
The bond guarantees that you complete the work to township standards and restore the right-of-way — so the township and the public aren't left with a hazardous walk, a failed pour, or an unfinished apron. The township sets the amount based on the scope of the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the Township of Hillside (the obligee). If the work isn't completed or restored properly, the township can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Township of Hillside set — most applicants see instant approval, with pricing from $100.
