Driveway Apron Permit Bond - Town of Kent, CT in Connecticut

Brief Summary

The driveway apron is the piece of your driveway that sits on Town road right of way, so the Town of Kent wants a guarantee before anyone cuts into it. A surety bond gives the Town that guarantee and lets the permit move forward without leaving a cash deposit with Town Hall.

The Town of Kent, Connecticut requires a bond with its Driveway Apron Permit, which covers building or changing the section of a driveway where it meets a Town road. The bond guarantees the apron is built to the Town's conditions and that any damage to the road, shoulder or drainage is repaired. The Town is the obligee and sets the amount, so confirm the figure and bond form with the Town before the bond is issued.

Detailed Information About the Connecticut Driveway Apron Permit Bond:

The bond is about the Town road, not your house

A driveway apron is the stretch of driveway between the edge of the Town road and the private property line. That ground belongs to the Town right of way, which is why Kent issues a separate apron permit and asks for a bond before work starts. The bond does not cover the rest of the driveway or the house project. It protects the Town's road, shoulder and drainage where the new or relocated driveway connects.

Who posts it

The principal on the bond is whoever the Town names on the permit, usually the property owner or the contractor building the apron. The obligee is the Town of Kent. If the apron is not built to the permit conditions, or the work damages the road edge or a culvert, the Town can make a claim against the bond to pay for the repair. The principal then owes the surety for anything it pays.

Amount and form

The listing on this page does not carry a fixed dollar figure, so the amount comes from the Town for your permit. Ask the Town of Kent for the bond amount, the name the bond should be issued in, any required bond form, and when the bond will be released, before you order it.

Cost

You pay a one time or annual premium rather than the full bond amount. The premium is based on the bond amount and the applicant's credit. Apply to see an exact quote.
