What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A sewer-contractor license bond is a workmanship-and-compliance guarantee. The Town of Ramapo licenses the contractors that tap into and connect to its sewer system — the bond gives the Town a financial backstop that you follow its sewer specifications and restore the work properly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Ramapo (the obligee). If a contractor damages the Town sewer system, fails to meet specifications, or leaves a connection non-compliant, 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 follow the Town's sewer specs treat the bond as a license 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 $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 bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
