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.

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 $2,000 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.
