About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the wrecker's bond actually guarantees

The City of Birmingham requires anyone demolishing buildings inside the city to post a building wrecker's bond. This blanket bond covers all of your demolition work in Birmingham for the term, so you don't post a separate bond every time you pull a permit.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Birmingham (the obligee). The bond protects the City and the public against damage to City property, utilities, and adjacent property during your demolitions, and backs your compliance with the City's demolition rules.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the City sets the blanket figure for your registration, enter that amount. The application collects no credit information; premiums start at $100, and your exact price appears there.
