About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the demolition permit bond actually guarantees

A demolition permit bond is a site-restoration guarantee. The City of Peoria conditions a demolition permit on a bond that backs the promise to fully clear the site of debris, cap or remove utility connections as required, and leave the lot in a safe, code-compliant condition once the structure comes down.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Peoria (the obligee), acting through its Building and Codes department. If the demolition is left incomplete or the site is not restored as required, the City can draw on the bond to complete the work — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

There is no single citywide penal sum — Building and Codes sets the amount based on the scope of the demolition when the permit is issued. Enter the figure on your permit; your premium is priced at 2% of that amount, $100 minimum, after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

City of Peoria, Building and CodesPeoria's Code of Ordinances addresses demolition permitting within its building regulations chapter. Because the exact bond-amount schedule for demolition permits is not published in a form this page can independently verify, confirm your required bond amount and permit conditions directly with the City of Peoria Building and Codes office — (309) 494-8600 — before you apply.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Peoria demolition permit bond?Premiums cost 2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The amount itself is set by Building and Codes based on the scope of your demolition — confirm the figure on your permit, then enter it here for your exact price.
What amount should I enter?The bond amount shown on your Peoria demolition permit. Building and Codes can confirm the figure if it is not already on your permit paperwork.
What does the bond guarantee?It guarantees the site is fully cleared of debris and restored to a safe, code-compliant condition once demolition is complete. If the work is left unfinished, the City can draw on the bond to complete it.
Do I pay the full bond amount?No. The bond amount is the City's coverage limit if the site is not restored as required, not your cost. You pay only the premium — 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.
