The Town of Colonie requires a $2,500 permit bond before it will permit a clothing or donations collection bin on a property. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Permit bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Town of Colonie bin permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A public donations bin permit bond is a local-compliance guarantee. When you place a clothing or donations collection bin in the Town of Colonie, the town wants a financial backstop that the bin will be maintained, properly labeled, and removed when required.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Colonie (the obligee). If a bin is abandoned, becomes a nuisance, or the permit conditions are violated, the town can recover its costs against the $2,500 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Operators who maintain and remove their bins on schedule treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect one.
