Detailed Information About the Connecticut Right of Way Permit ($10,000) Bond:

Go to Public Works, not Building

Prospect's Building Department page covers building permits, and its town forms list does not include a right of way permit. Road and right of way work belongs with the Public Works Department, which maintains and repairs town streets. Contact Public Works at 221 Cheshire Road, Prospect, or 203-758-4983 for the permit and the bond form.

What the bond guarantees

The $10,000 bond is a promise from you and a surety company to the Town of Prospect. If your work in the right of way damages the road, is not restored properly, or breaks the permit conditions, the town can claim against the bond. The surety pays valid claims up to $10,000 and then recovers that amount from you.

Who posts it

The contractor or property owner doing the work in the town right of way posts the bond, in the same name used on the permit application.

State roads are different

If the work is on a state highway running through Prospect, the permit and bond come from the Connecticut Department of Transportation, not the town.

What it costs

You pay an annual premium, not $10,000. The surety sets it after reviewing the owner's credit and business history.
