What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A demolition license bond is a compliance guarantee to the City of Clay. It promises that you will demolish structures in line with the city's demolition and building rules — properly capping utilities, controlling debris and dust, and restoring the site — and gives the city a financial backstop if you don't.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Clay (the obligee). If a demolition violates the city's ordinance or leaves public property damaged, a valid claim can be made against the $5,000 bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your demolition license. Let it lapse and the city can suspend the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
