What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
The Town of New Windsor issues right-of-way and road opening permits through its Highway Department for any work that touches a town road, shoulder, or drainage — utility cuts, driveway connections, and similar. The Town conditions the permit on a surety bond.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of New Windsor (the obligee). If the work damages town infrastructure and you do not restore it, the Town can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way to town standard treat the bond as a permit formality.
