North Hempstead, NY Right of Way Bond
Overview
Contractors and utility companies working in North Hempstead's public right of way need this bond before breaking ground on any street, sidewalk, or curb project. North Hempstead requires it to protect the town and its residents if permitted work causes damage to public infrastructure. Holding this bond signals to the town that you stand behind your work and will restore the right of way to its original condition. Without it, your permit application goes nowhere.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told by North Hempstead that you can't pull a right-of-way permit without posting this bond first. Contractors, excavators, utility crews, and developers who need to open, disturb, or work within a North Hempstead public street, sidewalk, curb, or easement are the ones buying this bond. It applies whether you're running new utility lines, making repairs, or doing any work that touches town-owned right-of-way. If North Hempstead issued the permit requirement, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that any contractor or company disturbing the public right of way in North Hempstead will properly restore the affected area once work is complete. If the work causes damage and the principal fails to repair it, North Hempstead can make a claim against the bond to recover the cost of restoration. It protects taxpayers and the town's infrastructure — not the contractor. You are the principal; North Hempstead is the obligee holding you to the obligation.
When is it Required?
Before North Hempstead issues a right-of-way permit, the bond must already be in place. Permit approval is contingent on the town receiving proof of bonding — you cannot schedule work, mobilize equipment, or begin any excavation in the public right of way until the permit is in hand, and the permit won't issue without this bond. Don't wait until your start date to sort it out; the bond comes first, the permit comes second, and the work comes third.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a local North Hempstead requirement and applies exclusively to work performed within the Town of North Hempstead's public rights of way, streets, and easements. It is not a New York State license bond and does not satisfy permit requirements in any neighboring municipality. If your project crosses into another jurisdiction, that town or village may require its own separate right-of-way bond.
