What it is and who needs it.
What the sidewalk permit bond covers
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.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
