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.

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.
How to file it
File with the New Windsor Highway Department. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application to the Town of New Windsor. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Town insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
