Before the City of Prairie Village issues a demolition permit, it requires a $5,000 bond. Ours is $275 flat — the $275 minimum, since 3% of $5,000 is below it. The application takes about five minutes.
















Demolition permit bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the whole process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit-check section on this bond.
Small fixed permit bonds like this issue right after purchase in most cases. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to attach to your City of Prairie Village demolition permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, below the $275 minimum, so $275 one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A demolition permit bond is a site-restoration-and-compliance guarantee to the City of Prairie Village. Demolition disturbs utilities, sidewalks, and adjoining property, so the city wants a financial backstop that you'll cap utilities, fill and grade the site, and follow the demolition permit's terms.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Prairie Village (the obligee). If you leave a site unsafe, damage public infrastructure, or otherwise violate the permit, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who close out their sites cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality, nothing more.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
