What the demolition bond actually covers
Jefferson County conditions a demolition permit on a surety bond. The bond is a public-safety and restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to demolish the structure safely, properly cap utilities, clear debris, and restore the site to the county’s requirements.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Jefferson County (the obligee). If a demolition contractor leaves a hazardous or unrestored site and the county must remedy it, the county can recover against the bond.
The amount is set by Jefferson County for the structure being demolished, so enter the figure on your permit. Whatever amount applies, we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
