New Jersey Bid Bond
New Jersey local public construction bids over $100,000 need a bid guarantee under N.J.S.A. 40A:11-21. The guarantee is 10 percent of the bid, up to $20,000.
New Jersey Performance & Payment Bond
New Jersey requires performance and payment bonds on public works for the State, contracting units and school districts under N.J.S.A. 2A:44-143. Each bond may be up to 100 percent of the contract price.
New Jersey Contractor License Bond
New Jersey home improvement and home elevation contractors must give financial security, such as a compliance bond or letter of credit, under the Home Improvement and Home Elevation Contractor Licensing Act. The security amount depends on contract volume.
New Jersey Mechanic's Lien Discharge Bond
Under the New Jersey Construction Lien Law, an owner, contractor or subcontractor can file a bond with the county clerk to discharge a lien claim. The bond is 110 percent of the amount claimed.
New Jersey Subdivision Bond
New Jersey municipalities require performance guarantees for subdivision and site plan improvements under the Municipal Land Use Law, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53. The guarantee may be up to 120 percent of the cost of improvements not yet installed.
New Jersey Maintenance Bond
New Jersey municipalities can require a maintenance guarantee after subdivision improvements are accepted, under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53. It runs up to two years and may be up to 15 percent of the cost of the improvement.
New Jersey Right-of-Way Bond
New Jersey municipalities and counties require bonds for street and road opening permits. NJDOT also issues road opening permits for state highways.
New Jersey Permit Bond
Permit bond requirements in New Jersey are set by municipalities and counties, for example for street openings and work in the public right of way.
New Jersey Supply Bond
New Jersey has no statewide law mandating a supply bond on supply contracts. N.J.S.A. 40A:11-22 (Local Public Contracts Law) requires performance and payment bonds for public construction contracts exceeding $100,000 but makes bonding for non-construction supply contracts entirely discretionary—a contracting unit 'may' require a surety certificate for 'any other contract.' Public agencies that want a supply bond must include it in their bid documents and contract specifications.
New Jersey Stop Payment Notice Release Bond
New Jersey does not have a stop payment notice (stop notice) mechanism. Unpaid subcontractors and suppliers protect themselves through mechanics liens on private projects under the Construction Lien Law (N.J.S.A. 2A:44A-1 to -38) or bond claims on public projects under the Public Works Bond Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:44-143). There is no New Jersey statute authorizing a stop payment notice or a corresponding release bond.
New Jersey Notary Bond
New Jersey does not require a notary public to file a surety bond. The State Treasurer commissions notaries for five years.
New Jersey Freight Broker Bond (BMC-84)
Property brokers registered with FMCSA must keep $75,000 in financial security under 49 U.S.C. 13906. A surety bond is filed on Form BMC-84; a trust fund is filed on Form BMC-85.
