North Hempstead right of way bonds.
$100 flat.
The Town of North Hempstead Highway Department issues road-opening permits for work in the Town right-of-way — and it asks for either a certified check on deposit or a $10,000 performance bond naming the Town as obligee. Ours is $100 flat, the price you see is the checkout price, and the bond issues the moment you pay. Any credit screen is a soft pull only — it never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the right of way bond covers
A road opening, curb cut, or excavation in the Town of North Hempstead right-of-way needs a permit from the Town Highway Department, along with general liability, workers compensation, and NYS disability certificates naming the Town. The Department accepts either a certified check held for at least 90 days after the work or a $10,000 performance bond naming the Town as obligee — most contractors post the bond so the cash is not tied up.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of North Hempstead (the obligee). The bond guarantees you restore the street, sidewalk, pavement, curb, or gutter to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Highways. If you leave a cut unrestored, the Town can recover the repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the Town draws on the bond, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, repave, and close out cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality, and one bond covers your permits for the term.
