Nassau County, NY — Road Opening Permit Bond
Nassau County's published road-work rules allow a performance/road-opening bond when the assessed restoration deposit exceeds $25,000. Have County Public Works review the plans and confirm the security before applying; this is not a flat $25,000 bond for every opening.

What this bond does
Secure the accepted restoration obligation for work on a County road or within County right-of-way. The County's permit page currently links its 2016 rules and separate residential and commercial applications.
- Who needs it
- Owners, contractors, utilities and other applicants proposing overhead, surface or underground work in Nassau County's road right-of-way. A Town or Village location does not by itself identify who controls the affected road.
- Who it protects
- The published rules address restoration, County supervision and necessary repairs, and indemnification of Nassau County. The accepted security does not replace liability insurance or permissions from other authorities.

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.

Questions about this bond
Is $25,000 the bond amount for every Nassau opening?
No. The published rules use a deposit exceeding $25,000 as a condition for accepting a bond instead. Public Works assesses the actual security after reviewing the plans.
Does a County bond replace a Town or Village permit?
No. Confirm all authorities involved. The County rules specifically require prior municipal approvals within incorporated villages and cities and preserve other permit obligations.
Does the one-year restoration guarantee make this a one-year bond?
No. The linked rules separately require the accepted bond to be effective for at least two years. Confirm its dates and release with Public Works.
