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.

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 $10,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 Highway Department. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit with your permit application, insurance certificates, and plans to the North Hempstead Highway Department. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
