Litchfield Driveway Bond
What it is & who requires it
A contractor constructing a driveway that enters a Litchfield town road or right-of-way must post a driveway permit bond before the permit issues, guaranteeing the driveway and any disturbed portion of the road are completed and restored to Town of Litchfield (Public Works)’s specifications. (CT preempts municipal general-contractor licensure — the Litchfield contractor requirement resolves to this public-way bond, not a GC bond.)
Obligee: Town of Litchfield (Public Works). Citation: Town of Litchfield Public Works Driveway Permit (Rev. 12/2017); Ordinance Concerning Connecting of Private Driveways to the Public Highway (4/14/1976).
