What it is and who needs it.
What the demolition permit bond actually guarantees
The Town of Easton issues demolition permits through its building / permitting office. Because tearing a structure down affects neighbors and the public way, the Town conditions the permit on a fixed $2,500 surety bond standing behind safe, complete demolition.
The bond is a performance guarantee: it backs the structure being removed safely, the site being cleared, and any damage to sidewalks, curbs, or the public way being repaired. The Town of Easton (the obligee) can draw on the bond if the demolition is abandoned or left unsafe.
It is not insurance for you. If the Town draws on the bond and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish the demolition and restore the site treat the $2,500 bond as a permit formality.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $2,500 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
