Questions about this bond
Does the $5,000 licensing bond replace the opening deposit?
The City describes them separately. Its licensing instructions state a minimum $5,000 bond; its opening instructions require an Engineering-set deposit. Obtain confirmation for the actual request before treating one as the other.
Does buying the bond authorize a driveway cut?
No. Brockton requires the applicable Highway curb-cut permission and Engineering opening permit, with the work performed by the required licensed contractor.
Does the one-year patch duty determine my bond term?
No. Patch maintenance, deposit inspection/refund, contractor licensing and the issued bond have distinct dates. Use the City's actual request and issued instrument rather than copying a permit or maintenance period.
