What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Louisville licenses wrecking (demolition) contractors and conditions a Class "A" wrecking permit on a $10,000 surety bond. The "A" class covers standard demolition work, with the larger "B" class carrying a $25,000 bond.
The bond is a public-safety-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to demolish to code, protect adjacent property and the public, and clean up the site. The City of Louisville is the obligee, with the public as the protected parties.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the wrecking permit, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration.
