About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the plumber street opening bond covers

The Village of Hempstead licenses plumbers under Chapter 100 of the Village Code. An applicant who qualifies pays the annual license fee and must supply and maintain a $2,000 surety and street opening combination bond with a company approved by the Village, conditioned on faithful and complete compliance with the Village Plumbing Code.

The combination form does two jobs at once. As a license bond it stands behind your plumbing work under the code. As a street-opening bond it guarantees that when you excavate in the village right-of-way — tapping a main, running a service line, repairing a sewer lateral — you restore the street, sidewalk, and curb to their prior condition. The Village of Hempstead is the obligee; you are the principal.

It is not insurance for you — if the Village recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. The license has to stay continuously bonded, so we track your term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Village of Hempstead Code Chapter 100, Article III (Licensing)Chapter 100 of the Village of Hempstead Code governs plumbing, and Article III covers licensing. An applicant who qualifies for a plumber license pays the annual fee and must supply and maintain a surety and street opening combination bond, with a company approved by the Village, in the amount of $2,000, conditioned on faithful and complete compliance with the Plumbing Code of the Village. Confirm current fees and filing steps with the Village Building Department before you file.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Village of Hempstead plumbers street opening bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every plumber. The $2,000 bond amount is set by the Village Code, so there is no quote process, and the price you see is the checkout price.
Do I pay the $2,000?No. You pay $100. The $2,000 is the surety's maximum liability if the Village makes a valid claim against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is this one bond or two?One. The Village takes a combination bond that covers both compliance with the Village Plumbing Code and restoration of any street or sidewalk you open, in a single $2,000 penal sum.
Is there a credit check?If a credit screen runs on this bond, it is a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. The price stays $100 flat either way.
Is the Village the same as the Town of Hempstead?No. The Incorporated Village of Hempstead is its own municipality inside the Town of Hempstead, with its own plumbing license and its own bond. Work in town streets outside the village takes the separate Town of Hempstead right-of-way bond.
