This bond protects the Village of Walden and its residents by guaranteeing that any contractor who opens or disturbs a public sidewalk will restore it to proper condition.

Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors and construction professionals who plan to cut into, excavate, or otherwise open a public sidewalk within the Village of Walden need this bond. Utility contractors, plumbers, and general contractors performing work that requires breaking into a sidewalk along a public right-of-way are the most common applicants. Any individual or company that pulls a sidewalk opening permit from Walden will be required to carry this bond before work begins.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that the principal — the contractor or permit holder — will properly restore any sidewalk disturbed during permitted work in Walden. The Village of Walden is the obligee and holds the right to make a claim if the sidewalk is not repaired to municipal standards. It is not insurance for your business — it is a financial assurance to Walden that the public right-of-way will be left in acceptable condition.
When is it Required?
Permit application time is when this bond becomes mandatory. Before the Village of Walden will approve a sidewalk opening permit, you must provide a valid bond. Waiting until you are ready to break ground is too late — secure the bond first, then submit your permit application so there are no delays to your project start date.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the Village of Walden, New York, and is a local municipal requirement — not a statewide license or state-issued bond. It covers work performed on public sidewalks within Walden's jurisdiction only. Contractors working in other New York municipalities will need a separate bond issued for that specific locality.
