What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Lansing licenses building wreckers — contractors who demolish or wreck structures — and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-safety-and-property guarantee: that demolition is done safely, debris is cleared, and the site is restored under the city's building and demolition rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lansing (the obligee). If a wrecker damages adjoining property, leaves a hazardous site, or violates the demolition rules, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Wreckers who demolish safely and restore the site treat the bond as a license formality, and the $10,000 filing keeps the license valid.
