What is this bond?

An Orange County Street Opening Bond is a type of right-of-way surety bond that guarantees public roadways are properly repaired after excavation or construction. It ensures that contractors complete the roadwork in compliance with local engineering standards and restore the street to its original condition.

Who needs it?

Contractors, developers, and utility companies who are trenching, digging, or disrupting public roads, sidewalks, or right-of-ways in Orange County, New York, generally need this bond. It is typically required before a street opening or highway work permit can be issued.

Why is it required?

Orange County requires this bond to protect taxpayers from the financial burden of repairing damaged public infrastructure. If a contractor abandons a project or performs subpar road restoration, the bond provides funds to the county to complete the repairs properly.
