About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the highway permit bond actually covers

The Town of Ellicottville conditions a permit to open, excavate, or otherwise work within a town road on a bond guaranteeing the work. The bond is a performance and restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to backfill, repave, and restore the town road, shoulder, and drainage to the Highway Department's specification.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Ellicottville (the obligee). If you leave a defective patch, damage the road, or fail to restore the right-of-way, the town can recover its repair costs against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. The Highway Department sets the penal sum based on the work; enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
