The City of Indianapolis sets its wrecking (demolition) contractor bond in tiers, and Type C is the $10,000 level — the smallest tier, for limited demolition work. Ours is $175 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. It renews on the City's odd-year statutory cycle, and the application collects no credit information.
















Wrecking license bonds are simple to issue. Here's the entire process:
Business details, an effective date, and the City's statutory renewal term. That's the application — no financials, and no credit section to fill out.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Indianapolis Type C wrecking license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Indianapolis licenses wrecking (demolition) contractors in tiers, and Type C carries the $10,000 bond — the smallest tier, for limited demolition work. The bond guarantees you'll perform demolition according to the City's ordinances, protect adjacent property and the public, and correct work the City finds deficient.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Indianapolis (the obligee), with the public and neighboring owners protected. If a wrecking contractor damages property, leaves a hazard, or violates the City's demolition ordinances, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who demolish safely and to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information.
