Before you demolish a structure within the City of Kokomo, Indiana, the city requires a demolition permit and a surety bond. The bond is a performance-and-restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to demolish safely, properly cap and disconnect utilities, remove debris, and restore the site to the city’s standard.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Kokomo (the obligee). If a demolition is abandoned, leaves an unsafe site, or damages adjacent public property and is not corrected, the city can recover against the bond to finish or fix the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who demolish cleanly, cap utilities, and close out their permits treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Kokomo set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
