Under NYS Highway Law § 136, work within a Suffolk County road right-of-way requires a highway work permit from the Suffolk County Department of Public Works, issued through the County Superintendent of Highways, conditioned on a surety bond. The standard County permit bond amount is commonly $50,000; the permit fee is generally 10% of the value of the work as determined by the DPW. Confirm the bond amount required on your permit with the Department of Public Works.
