What it is and who needs it.
What the encroachment bond actually covers
An encroachment permit is what the Town of Surf City issues when you need to work within — or place something in — the public right-of-way: a driveway tie-in, a utility cut, a bore under a street, a drainage connection, or a structure that extends into town land. The town can condition that permit on a surety bond.
The bond runs to the Town of Surf City as obligee. It guarantees you will perform the work to town standards and restore the right-of-way — repaving, regrading, repairing drainage and utilities — so the public road and town property are left whole.
It is a guarantee, not insurance for you: if the town has to draw on the bond to fix unrestored right-of-way, you repay the surety. Once the work passes the town's final inspection, the obligation is released.
