Why do I need a $5000 bond?

If public property is damaged and not repaired within 30 days of the Town being notified, the Town will make the repair and take money from the bond, which can damage the bond owner’s credit. It is meant as a deterrent to make sure permits are carried out responsibly and with accountability, as well as to quickly mitigate any damage caused.
