Questions about this bond
Is this the driveway or cash-escrow arrangement?
Public Works lists distinct arrangements. Match the contractor street-opening/trenching request rather than substituting another entry.
When is the completed permit effective?
The Town requires applicant signature and receipt back by Public Works. Bond purchase alone does not complete that step.
Does cash-escrow reimbursement define the surety bond's release?
No. Confirm the accepted surety instrument and release instructions separately.
