Burlington, NJ — Street Opening Permit Bond

What this bond does

Arrange the street-opening security required by the correct Burlington municipality, once its recipient and instrument are confirmed.

Who needs it
The applicant responsible for the opening, with the performing contractor, authorizing owner and exact municipal road authority identified.
Who it protects
The published municipal provisions support restoration and compliance for their own permits. A bond for one Burlington recipient is not automatically acceptable to the other.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

City and Township requirements are different

The City of Burlington's April 2025 application specifies a $5,000 minimum two-year surety bond, work plans, opening dimensions and commencement/completion dates. It directs applicants to return a physical copy with supporting documents. The accompanying code also allows an annual bond covering a year's work and requires 24-month restoration maintenance, so have the City confirm which form and dates it requires for your permit.

Burlington Township's separate road-opening packet allows a certified-check deposit or a $2,500 bond payable to the Township, with a higher amount when the Engineer determines one is necessary. The Township application is made by the person performing or directly responsible for the work; an application on an owner's behalf requires the owner's countersignature.

Do not use either amount until the recipient and accepted form are matched to this offering. The listing's Burlington name alone does not establish City, Township or county-road jurisdiction.

Apply with the written municipal request

Have the authority identify the road, proposed opening, purpose, applicant and required security. Provide the contractor/owner roles, plans, dimensions, surface and work dates. For City work within 25 feet of the RiverLINE right-of-way or within it, the City's application also directs coordination with RiverLINE for railroad-specific requirements.

Purchase Now opens the existing Propeller application. No fixed amount or term is listed, and the application is not evidence that the two municipal instruments are interchangeable. Ask for the recipient and form to be confirmed before issuance.

File the executed bond and other permit documents through the confirmed municipality's process. Both published programmes separate the permit from a 48-hour construction notice. Obtain the applicable permit approval and follow its work, inspection and restoration conditions; purchase does not authorize an opening or determine when security is released.

Questions about this bond

Should I use $5,000 or $2,500?

First identify the recipient. The City's application lists a $5,000 minimum; the Township's packet separately describes a $2,500 bond, subject to increase. Have the correct authority confirm your assigned amount and form before issuance.

Does this listing establish which Burlington municipality accepts the bond?

No. Its purchase data does not resolve City versus Township. Send the written municipal requirement for a form and recipient match before applying.

Is the City's annual-bond allowance the same as its two-year requirement?

They address different arrangements in the published material. The City's application requests a two-year bond, while its code allows annual coverage and separately requires restoration maintenance. Ask the City to confirm the required instrument and dates for your permit.
